Abstract

In the mid-eighteenth century flourished in Portugal a concern among the ‘estrangeirados’ about the causes of ‘atraso’ of the kingdom and ways to get his ‘regeneração’. The illustration starts then a Portuguese tradition, the predominant form, but not unanimous, gave the Methuen Treaty (or Treaty of cloths and Wine), 1703, the source of the problems of not development of the Lusitanian manufacturing and appropriation of the gold produced Brazil. This work has as main objective to reflect on the construction of this school and explaining their persistence in the history taught in Brazil.
