António de Oliveira Salazar (1889–1970) was a Portuguese economist, politician, and statesman, best known for his authoritarian rule as Prime Minister of Portugal from 1932 to 1968. Born in Vimieiro, he studied law at the University of Coimbra and later pursued an academic career as a professor of economics.
Salazar’s rise to power came amidst political instability and economic turmoil in Portugal. He implemented a corporatist authoritarian regime known as the Estado Novo (“New State”), which aimed to maintain order and promote economic development through centralized control. His regime emphasized nationalism, traditionalism, and Catholicism, while suppressing political dissent and labor movements.
Economically, Salazar’s policies focused on fiscal conservatism, protectionism, and industrialization, leading to some degree of economic stability and modernization in Portugal. However, his regime was criticized for its lack of political freedoms, censorship, and human rights abuses.
Salazar’s leadership endured for over three decades until he suffered a stroke in 1968, which led to his replacement as Prime Minister. Despite his authoritarian methods, Salazar left a lasting legacy in Portuguese politics and society, shaping the country’s trajectory throughout much of the 20th century.
