ABSTRACT
This paper proposes an analysis of the texts Plano Trienal and PAEG, documents of economic planning in 1960s Brazil. We aim to check, on one hand, theoretical and conceptual aspects regarding its retrospective diagnosis, and, on the other, socioeconomic conditions each text projects for the future as condition for de achievement of their intended objectives. With such an analysis we do not aim to verify if the plans are suitable to the Brazilian reality, but to understand how internal problems of texts and its relations may be elucidatory no only to the History of Ideas, but also for a broad consideration of Economic, Social and Institutional History in Brazil.
