Synopsis

After estimating the expenses of the Portuguese State with the First World War and the Colonial War (Grande Guerra e Guerra Colonial – Custos para os Cofres Portugueses, Sílabo, 2020), Ricardo Ferraz now presents in this book a rigorous quantification and analysis of investments of Planos de Fomento (Portuguese Development Plans) (1953-1974) which contributed to the period of greatest economic growth in Portugal.

How much did the Portuguese Nation spend on these initiatives? Where was the most invested? In Metropolis or Overseas? What were the sectors that represented the highest volumes of expenditure? What funding sources was used? At today's prices and in current Portuguese currency, how much did the investments made in the Metropolis included in these plans cost?
