Abstract

The penetration of foreign capital in Brazil,
even though it contributed to the development
of some important industrial sectors, also
reinforced the dependent character of the
Brazilian economy, maintaining it in a
position of subordinate actor in international
trade. As the sharpening of anti-imperialist
conflicts accentuated the contradictions of
the accumulation process on the international level, the character of the Brazilian economy’s
dependence was redefined, as a function of the
new balance of forces between the hegemonic
powers and between these powers and the
dependent and colonized countries.
