ABSTRACT
This paper starts denying the optimist belief that growth alone will be able to solve the employment problems of Brazil. Anyway, in the 80s growth was reduced in Brazil due to the external pressure. But Brazil disposes of a huge internal market. In order to resume growth what is necessary is a development strategy that preserves the natural resources of the country. This strategy should avoid the opposite mistakes of “ecologism” and “economism”.The essential task is to build a “development reserve” in order to avoid the loss of resources, that may be originated from the sub or the super-utilization of resources. An inventory of measures in this direction is presented in the final part of the paper.
