Strategy for economic growth in Brazil: a post keynesian approach
José Luís Oreiro*, Luiz Fernando de Paula**

Abstract
The paper proposes a Keynesian strategy for economic policy that aims to achieve higher, stable and sustained economic growth in Brazil. Its main hypothesis is that the current poor growth performance of the Brazilian economy is due to macroeconomic and structural constraints rather than to the lack of microeconomic reforms.

Keywords: economic policy; economic growth; Post-Keynesian theory
