RESUMO: Este artigo revisita as contribuições do professor Fernando Cardim de Carvalho sobre o tema do financiamento da acumulação de capital nas economias monetárias. Destaca duas funções que, idealmente, devem ser cumpridas pelo setor financeiro para permitir que as economias de mercado sustentem o crescimento e evitem instabilidade financeira. A primeira diz respeito à garantia da oferta adicional de liquidez criada por aumentos na produção e investimento (motiva finanças). A segunda refere-se à provisão de mecanismos para financiar empreendimentos de longo prazo, amenizando, portanto, a tendência à fragilidade financeira (financiamento) ao longo deste processo. O artigo baseia-se nos fundamentos apresentados por Cardim para sugerir que as instituições financeiras privadas muitas vezes não conseguem cumprir essas funções devido a problemas informativos e incertezas, especialmente na fase de transformação estrutural. Conclui defendendo a necessidade de políticas públicas para desenvolver mercados financeiros e instrumentos adequados para apoiar o desenvolvimento econômico, que envolve investimentos transformacionais.

ABSTRACT: This paper revisits the contributions of Professor Fernando Cardim de Carvalho on the theme of the financing of capital accumulation in monetary economies. It highlights two functions that ideally should be fulfilled by the financial sector to allow market economies to sustain growth and avoid financial instability. The first one relates to ensuring the additional supply of liquidity created by hikes in production and investment (finance motive). The second refers to the provision of mechanisms to fund long-term undertakings, therefore softening the tendency to financial fragility (funding) along the process. The article builds on the foundations put forth by Cardim to suggest that private financial institutions often fail to fulfill these functions due to informational problems and uncertainty, especially in the phase of structural transformation. It concludes by advocating the need for public policies to develop financial markets and instruments that are appropriate to support economic development, which involves transformational investments.
