In Profit, Accumulation and Crisis, Bresser Pereira manages to make the most complete analysis of the capitalist accumulation of the central countries by a Latin American economist. Despite the depth and theoretical reach of Profit, Accumulation and Crisis, Bresser Pereira is able to update a complicated subject in clear and objective language, bridging the general theory of capitalism with the complete history. This at the same time expresses the vigor of an intellectual obsession and the discipline of one who is willingly to cross the circle of permanent intellectual debate. Gilson Schwartz, Folha de S.
