Antonio Delfim Netto, Brazilian Economic Czar, Dies at 96
Briefly

Antonio Delfim Netto's policies, though credited with the miraculous growth of Brazil in the late 60s and early 70s, led to severe economic troubles later, complicating his legacy.
Delfim's approach was characterized by a blend of neo-capitalist practices and state control, resulting in both economic growth and increased income inequality.
Despite his controversial legacy, some defenders argue that Delfim was instrumental in transforming Brazil from a largely agrarian state into a significant industrial exporter.
Delfim's admission of professional shortcomings came when he stated that, despite initial successes, he attributed later economic failures to external variables, reflecting the complexities of his tenure.
