Resumo:
In this article we try to demonstrate that the Brazilian economic policy adopted from 1995 up to 2014, especially regarding the management of the public debt, underwent no significant changes, being in line with preserving the hegemonic position of the financial sector on the Power Bloc. We used the Discriminant Analysis methodology, in order to arrange the monthly data into classes according to their similarities. The information grouped by neighborhood criterion showed a marked tendency to homogenization of the decisions linked to the management of the public debt during the presidential terms of FHC, Lula and Dilma. Thus, we conclude that this aspect of the economic policy reinforces the thesis of the predominance of the financial bourgeoisie class fraction in the current Brazilian Power Bloc.
