CERRANO, Carolina  and  GARCIA, Álvaro. Thinking of the Storm. Carlos Vaz Ferreira and his Vision of the Extreme Protectionism in Times of Crisis. Rev. Fac. Der. [online]. 2021, n.50, e102.  Epub Jan 01, 2021. ISSN 0797-8316.  https://doi.org/10.22187/rfd2020n50a2.

This article takes a look at a series of lectures about “extreme protectionism” given at the Universidad de la República (1932) by the Uruguayan lawyer and philosopher Carlos Vaz Ferreira. He remained relevant as a thinker in 1944, when he revisited this topic, because of the significance of his ideas about protectionism, an “evil” that affected humanity. Vaz Ferreira pointed out the importance of the crisis of capitalism, becoming a referent in the Uruguay Centennial. He provides a defense of free trade. Nevertheless, given the impossibility of its generalized practice at the time, he defined himself as a “rational protectionist”.

Keywords : Carlos Vaz Ferreira; Uruguay; Economic Crisis; Extreme Protectionism.
