Abstract
The Brazilian Ministry of Development launched the Diagnostic Review of Design in Brazil in June 2014. It is the most comprehensive study ever made on the design sector in Brazil, and should support future actions of central and regional governments in the country. This review discusses its historical precedents, as well as its references, breadth, importance and consequences.
