Abstract

Francisco Rodolpho Simch was an economist and government bureaucrat inserted in the process of international transmission of economic ideas between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Born in an area of German colonization in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, Simch was a Germanophile intellectual and a public man of regional relevance, in fi elds such as the teaching of economics, the creation and consolidation of scientifi c institutions and the exploration of natural resources. His textbook Programa
de economia social was inspired by the nineteenth-century German tradition of of approaching and organizing economic knowledge. Seldom present in historical narratives about Brazilian economic thought, Simch’s intellectual production reveals specifi cities concerning the teaching of economics and the peculiar articulation between economic theory and policy.

Keywords: Francisco Simch, international diffusion of ideas, Brazilian economic thought.
