Milton Santos, Pensador do Brasil

The interview, held on January 4, 2001, was the last given by Professor Milton Santos, who died from cancer on June 24 of the same year. The geographer is gone, but his thoughts remains.

He innovates when, instead of standing against globalization, proposes and points out ways for another globalization.
