Abstract

Brazil became one of the leading extractive exporters in the world, with the massive entry of multinational corporations and foreign banks. The article discusses the political and economic situation of Brazil in the past 50 years, aiming to understand the “great reversion” from a dynamic nationalist-industrializing
country to a vulnerable imperial driven agro-mineral extractive nation as well as identify the decisive “turning points” and the centrality of political and class struggle.
