Quite on the contrary, I think that shows how competent he is as a sociologist (given the fact that being the president of Brazil doesn't really make anyone famous around the world ).

Yeah, but it really crosses class lines here.

Reminds me of a scene from "The Italian Job", when the leaders asks everyone not to make fun of the professor simply because he's "a men of letters"

^^^ What are his thoughts like? I know next to nothing about him as a sociologist... which is kinda ironic, given my interest on social sciences AND my nationality

Do it. Not only it is a classic (from 1969), it's also quite entertaining

I don't know him too well, only that he is part of the dependency school of political economy. He was less defeatist than some of the other dependency theorists, though. He saw an important role for investment by multi-national corporations where the others didn't.
