He is a retired professor from the Federal University of Minas Gerais and has taught at the University of São Paulo.

He achieved his Ph.D. in political science at the University of California, Berkeley.
He was born in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, son of Jewish parents who migrated to Brazil from Poland and Bessarabia in the 1920s. He studied sociology, political science, and public administration at the School of Economics of the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil (1958–61), and worked for his master's degree at the Latin American School of Social Sciences (FLACSO) in Santiago, Chile (1962–63). In early 1964 he returned to the University of Minas Gerais as a faculty member, but after the military coup of 1964, he was arrested, prosecuted on political grounds, and the University was ordered not to allow him to return to work. In late 1965 he left Brazil to work as a fellow of the International Peace Research Institute in Oslo, Norway, invited by Johan Galtung. In 1966 he went to work at the Fundación Bariloche in Argentina, and in 1967–68 he studied political science at the [[University of California, Berkeley]]. He returned to Brazil in 1969, settling in Rio de Janeiro, where he worked at the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (EBAP) and at the University Research Institute, Candido Mendes University. Between 1976 and 1979 he worked at the Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos|Brazilian Financing Agency for Studies and Projects (FINEP), and between 1989 and 1994 at the University of São Paulo, as professor of political science and academic coordinator of the Research Group on Higher Education (NUPES).

After leaving IBGE, he joined the American Institutes for Research (AIR) as its director for Brazil, and later the Institute for Studies on Labor and Society (IETS). He is currently an associate researcher at the Institute for Studies in Economic Policy (Casa das Garças) in Rio de Janeiro. His memoir was published in 2021 as Falso mineiro: memórias da política, ciência, educação e Sociedade.
Political Science and social policy
His doctoral dissertation, Regional cleavages and political patrimonialism in Brazil, dealt with the issues of social development and authoritarianism in Brazil in a comparative perspective, looking at the historical roots and current implications of political patrimonialism and authoritarianism. The work was published in Brazil in several editions as São Paulo e o Estado Nacional and later as Bases do Autoritarismo Brasileiro (Foundations of Authoritarianism in Brazil). The book is considered a reference in the literature on the characteristics of Brazil's political system. In 2004 he published a book on poverty and social exclusion, and in 2011 he co-edited a book on The New Social Agenda for Brazil. He was also engaged in a comparative study on development and democracy in India, South Africa and Brazil.
Science, Technology and Society
In the 1970s he joined the research group of the Brazilian Financing Agency for Studies and Projects (FINEP), where he coordinated a major study on the origins and development of the Brazilian scientific community. The book was published in English as A Space for Science – The Development of the Scientific Community in Brazil and had three Brazilian editions. The book became a main reference for research on the history of science and society in Brazil and Latin America . In 1994 he was one of the co-authors of The New Production of Knowledge, a book which created a major debate by arguing that contemporary science and technology was shifting towards a different institutional arrangement called 'mode 2'. In 1993–94 he coordinated the preparation of a major policy study for the Brazilian science and technology sector. The outcomes of this work were published in three volumes by the Getúlio Vargas Foundation in Brazil, in English and Portuguese. In 2006–07 he coordinated a project with results published as University and Development in Latin America: Successful Experiences of Research Centers, covering Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico.
