Antônio Delfim Netto (Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation: [ɐ̃ˈtoniu dɛwˈfĩ ˈnɛtu]; 1 May 1928 – 12 August 2024) was a Brazilian economist, academic, and politician who was the Minister of Finance, Agriculture, and Planning,[3] as well as a congressman. During his incumbency as Minister of Finance of Brazil, the country experienced the so-called Economic Miracle, a time of unprecedented economic growth.[3]
The Milagre Econômico overseen by Delfim Netto relied on a heterodox, developmentalist model.[11] The economic expansion relied on low wages, rapidly rising exports, and foreign capital inflows.[11] Delfim Netto gave another added meaning to the phrase "cake theory" in reference to this model: the cake had to grow before it could be distributed.[11] Although the "cake" in his metaphor did grow, it was highly unequally distributed.[11] Delfim Netto died in São Paulo on 12 August 2024, at the age of 96.[12]
