Twenty years after Ecuadorian dollarization, there is not enough debate on such a monetary subordination. In response, this paper identifies some unsolved doubts which emerge when the narratives that sustain the dollarizer myth are criticized (technical foundations, absence of alternatives, higher growth, hyperinflation, higher stability, and so on). In the end, the paper concludes that a tragic origin and the multiple questionable narratives make the country to accept a rigid monetary structure that fills its economy with uncertainty. keywords Dollarization, financial bailout, dollarizer myth, narratives, uncertainty. jel codes E42, N16, O54.

Ecuador... 20 años no es nada: a dos décadas del mito dolarizador

An analysis of Lula's economic and social policy during his first term (2003—2006) shows the degree to which Celso Furtado's predictions about the outcome of market fundamentalism in Latin America and the direction of the Lula government in Brazil have materialized. Faced with the daunting task of administering Cardoso's legacy of massive indebtedness, Lula's priority was to ensure debt-service payments and gain international credibility by strictly following the prescriptions of the old and the new or revised Washington Consensus, thus breaking his promise of a social transformation with a new development model. The central question now is whether a second Lula administration (2007—2010) will represent a transition to a national strategy capable of producing economic growth with social inclusion. Furtado's structuralist insights provide the basis for the elaboration and implementation of an alternative development project for the country and the region at large.

El metodo que utiliza Celso Furtado es esencialmente historico; su pasion -una pasion mesurada- es Brasil. En la segunda mitad del siglo veinte, ningun otro intelectual contribuyo mas que el al conocimiento de Brasil. Asumio el desarrollo como un compromiso, se sintio frustrado porque fue incapaz de lograrlo y su analisis de los retos economicos y politicos que debio confrontar sucesivamente el pais fue siempre certero. Para demostrar estas ideas, el presente trabajo ofrece un panorama general de la obra de Furtado.
