O debate acerca do possível processo de desindustrialização no Brasil

Abstract

This monograph titled "Debate about the possible de-industrialization process in Brazil" it is a literature about the discussion regarding the possibility of Brazil is living an early process of deindustrialization. In this context, while some economists argue the thesis that the country is going through a new "Dutch disease", others claim that this conclusion is still very premature. Initially, the analysis will be to explore the concept, the possible causes and consequences of deindustrialization process on long-term growth of capitalist economies, based on the existing literature on the subject. Later, the Brazilian case will be studied, presenting references and empirical evidence of the occurrence of deindustrialization in the Brazilian economy. Finally, they will be analyzed and discussed the early deindustrialization concepts and new "Dutch disease". The interest in the subject stems from the fact that it is undeniable that deindustrialisation reduces the potential for long-term economic growth, which interferes with the development of the country. Thus, this discussion is of utmost importance for a better understanding of the difficulties to be faced during this process and for formulating economic and social policies.
