Contrarrevolução burguesa e padrão de modernização: um debate sobre uma via brasileira de afirmação do capitalismo

Abstract

The Brazilian trail to capitalism affirmation, during the 20th century, and especially in critical moments of national history, like the instauration of a bonapartist political regime, in 1964, and the role (most of the time, counterrevolutionary) played by the local bourgeoisie, constitute, in a broad perspective, the fundamental aspects that briefly define the present study. In terms of theoretical approach, it takes into account the models created by Barrington to examine the processes through which agrarian societies moved to partially or fully modern and/or industrial societies, with the intent to analyze the pathway adopted by the native bourgeoisie to affirm the capitalist social regime in Brazil.
