%X this paper presents a different approach toward the understanding of developmentalism in brazil. the intention is to shed light on this process through its three distinct aspects: an ideological consensus on national potential, a methodological apparatus for interpreting the social and economic structures of the country, and a belief on a decentralized and democratic style of state planning. in this regard, economic policy is seen rather as a means than as an end in itself. to accomplish this task, r£¿mulo almeida's career within state bureaucracy was studied, which makes it possible to interpret the debate around development in brazil between 1946 and 1964 from a different perspective. the article is the result of a research effort that revealed new documents produced by the author, especially in the 1970's, in which he not only reconsiders his rich trajectory, but also offers a critical approach toward the economic policies put into place by military governments. at the end of this paper, some possibilities for awakening new perspectives on development in present-day brazil are taken into account.
