Resumo:
This study analyzes the economic transformations and power dynamics in Brazil,
highlighting the adoption of a new pattern of accumulation and its relationship with Lula's
rise to the Presidency of the Republic and the PT's rise to the position of governing party.
In this sense, this paper seeks to recover, through a historical and economic analysis, the
context of the implementation of Neoliberalism and financialization in Brazil. In this way,
it observes its macroeconomic impacts through the adoption of the Peripheral Liberal
Standard. Subsequently, the paper analyzes aspects related to the bloc in power and the
disputes between class fractions during the import substitution and Peripheral Liberal
models. It also analyzes some central aspects such as the increase in external vulnerability
and the distributive struggle over public debt. Then, it observes the impacts of the precepts
of the Washington Consensus on a country that has always preserved a property structure
rooted in inequality. At the same time, it observes the rise of the Workers' Party (PT) and
its process of transformation during the exchange rate deterioration process in 2002.
Within this context, the dissertation seeks to analyze the new dynamics of capital
accumulation and the new power relations in Brazil.
