A evolução do e-commerce no Brasil durante a pandemia Covid-19: quais as suas implicações sobre a dependência do capitalismo brasileiro?

Abstract

The main objective of this work is to analyze the implications of the evolution of e-commerce during the pandemic on Brazilian dependency. For this, it uses recent interpretations on the subject, such as Paulani's idea of dependency 4.0, as a theoretical framework. According to the author, this dependence means an increase in the transfer of value to the imperialism through rent payments. The secondary objective is to analyze, from the logical-historical view, if the growth of e-commerce during the pandemic tends to increase the imperialistappropriation of surplus through obtaining rents from the knowledge and the brand. It will also be exposed in the aforementioned work on what e-commerce is and what was its evolution during the pandemic, briefly talking about this evolution in the world and in more detail in the case of Brazil. The analysis of this scenario allows us to sketch an idea of how this evolution of electronic commerce affected the country, what were its consequences. To support this discussion, some authors had their works and academic works discussed, such as Marini, Oliveira, Paulani and the guiding theory was TDM (Marxist Theory of Dependency). This work is divided into three chapters, the first dealing with contemporary Brazilian dependency. The second talking about e-commerce and its oligopolitical tendencies and the final chapter explaining the evolution of e-commerce during the covid-19 pandemic, both in the world and especially in the case of Brazil.
