When he became a full professor, he continued his work as a researcher and proposed an Economic History of Portugal , stressing in the preface ‘the need to construct a systematic and totalising economic history’ ( História Económica de Portugal [Economic History of Portugal] , vol. 1, 1980, p. 15). Eager to cover the entire Portuguese chronology, Armando Castro planned to synthesise his work on the Middle Ages and the contemporary period and delve into the modern period, which he had not yet developed.

However, he was unable to complete this project, which came to a halt in the third volume and in the 16 th century. Lastly, it should also be noted that Armando Castro was not just a solitary author ; he contributed to several collective publications. In fact, he took part in the Dicionário de História de Portugal [Dictionary of the History of Portugal] , directed by Joel Serrão, one of the greatest historiographical milestones of the 1960s, where he wrote 84 articles, and he also wrote several parts of different volumes of the História de Portugal [History of Portugal] directed by José Hermano Saraiva in the 1980s. These examples are numerous and show that Armando Castro was certainly a Marxist historian and economist whose contribution was recognised by the Portuguese scientific community both before and after 25 April 1974.
