The Brazilian School of Economics and Finance (FGV/EPGE) and Rio de Janeiro Law School (FGV Direito Rio) will hold, on May 20, at 3 pm, the event The New National Development Strategy, with the presence of the Chief Minister of the Strategic Affairs Office to the Presidency of the Republic of Brazil, Roberto Mangabeira Unger.The event will be guided by the country's new development model, proposed by the Minister, with the purpose of creating favorable conditions to expand study and production opportunities. According to Mangabeira Unger, the training of entrepreneurs across the country must include a technological shock, able to take these initiatives out of the productive primitivism.The previous model was organized around consumption and demand. The main concern of the new model must be production and supply. The democratization of supply requires institutional innovation, which we have rarely attempted in our national history, said the minister.He argues that small businesses will only achieve global scale by incorporating more technology, new management practices to fight low productivity and efficient credit mechanisms. Besides this issue, the Minister pointed out that an increasing proportion of workers are in precarious situations of temporary, outsourced or self-employment work.We cannot advance betting on precarious, disqualified and unprotected work. We have to create, next to the right of the existing work, a second body of rules intended to govern this new world of productive relations, suggested the minister. The presentation of the Minister will be followed by a debate with invited researchers. Registrations can be made via the website.
