This dissertation examines the role of the fundamental economic variables (price levels, interest rates, and income levels) in the determination of foreign exchange rates during the period 1973-1978. Purchasing power parity, the International Fisher Effect, and the relationship of exchange rates with income levels through the marginal propensity to import were integrated, as suggested by the literature, and a fairly reasonable specification of a model for exchange rate determination was measured. The results of speculation tests indicate destabilizing results for some currencies and stabilizing results for the others; the coefficient of expectation tests, however, lend support to the destabilizing hypothesis. The conclusion of the research, therefore, is that the exchange rates of the major industrial countries which are of prime importance to the international financier and investor, and to the student of international finance and trade, are primarily determined, not by the fundamental economic variables, but by speculative forces which are believed to be of a destabilizing nature.

Além de apresentar as ideias principais dos autores, também foram expostas as diversas análises que pesquisadores, das mais diversas áreas do conhecimento – a partir das alternativas que Cardoso e Marini propuseram para a solução da dependência brasileira – discutiram, avaliaram e opinaram sobre as contribuições dos autores para a compreensão dos problemas econômico-políticos da subalternidade brasileira. A partir da hipótese de que foi a tese de Cardoso que mais teve influência nas Ciências Sociais propondo um desenvolvimento brasileiro associado-dependente, foram expostos os motivos pelos quais, a possível predominância desse pensamento obstaculizou o debate acerca da teoria da dependência, fazendo com que, durante anos, houvesse a divulgação de uma espécie de “pensamento único”, aceito como inquestionável, e que fez com que as teses de Marini fossem mal compreendidas ou no mínimo ficassem em segundo plano. A partir disso, os pesquisadores e comentadores dessas obras passaram a ter grande importância nesta pesquisa, posto que apresentaram as razões pelas quais não teria havido, no Brasil, um debate acerca dos autores dependentistas marxistas – Ruy Mauro Marini, Theotônio dos Santos e Vânia Bambirra – expondo as razões históricas do “não-debate”. Além disso, foram expostas as críticas de Fernando Henrique Cardoso e José Serra a Ruy Mauro Marini, bem como a defesa do último, que até o ano 2000 não havia sido publicada... / The aim of this study was to demonstrate the influence of dependency theory in the social sciences, especially after 1964, particularly theses Cardoso and Ruy Mauro Marini that, in different ways, presented the problems inherent to the Brazilian dependent capitalism, each pointing various categories as a way of thinking to overcome or at least a solution to the problems created by this particular form of subordination. Besides presenting the main ideas of the authors , the various analyzes that researchers from various fields of knowledge were also exposed - from the alternatives that Cardoso and Marini proposed for the solution of the Brazilian dependency - discussed, evaluated and commented on draft contributions authors to understand the economic and political problems of the Brazilian inferiority. From the assumption that was the thesis that Cardoso had more influence in the Social Sciences proposing an associated -dependent Brazilian development, the reasons for the predominance of this thinking can be hampered the debate about dependency theory were exposed, making for years, there was the release of a kind of single thought, accepted as unquestionable, which made Marini’s theses being misunderstood or at least staying in the background. From this, the researchers and commentators, these works have gained great importance in this research, since it showed the reasons why there would have been, in Brazil, a debate about authors dependent Marxists - Ruy Mauro Marini, Theotônio dos Santos and Vania Bambirra - exposing the historical reasons for this non-debate. Moreover, the criticism of Fernando Henrique Cardoso and José Serra to Ruy Mauro Marini, as well as the defense of the latter, which until 2000 had not been published in Brazil were exposed. Thus, with the exposition of ideas of Cardoso and Marini was understood that the predominance of the theses of the first studies on...
