 ON THE AUTONOMY OF THE STATE
Estado Novo was forced to secure foreign loans, and to open up the introverted economic system to foreign investment, which became quite large by the second half of the 1960s.
Estado Novo was the state of a ‘reactionary coalition’, i.e., the hegemonic power bloc constituted by the latifundists in coalition with the financial and industrial bourgeois fractions, and under the leadership of the first.
Estado Novo, the reactionary coalition “created a police state not in order to regiment and mobilize society in the interests of the more advanced sectors of capital, but to freeze the social structure in a way that maintained the hegemony of a backward and neo-feudal class” [Lomax 1983:110].

Portugal was only briefly hospitable towards the first wave of European modernism of the 1920s and 30s.

During this period, the Estado Novo progressively changed its previous economic discourse to a discourse favouring the country’s industrialisation on a path leading to progress and modernisation.
If we accept that the level of scientific and technical personnel in the active population restricts the level of industrial employment in an economy, then the impact of emigration on the country’s economic growth can be negative if it is proved that a significant proportion of the scientific and technical population leaves during this period.
I have, in fact, gone a step further in claiming that, in the Portuguese case, not only did the Estado Novo control the migratory flows that were occurring, but it also used emigration to its own advantage.
