Uma análise do processo de desindustrialização no Brasil: uma abordagem entre os anos de 1980 a 2020

Abstract

The industry is the sector capable of generating positive externalities and moving the entire economy. Its importance is linked to the multiplier and chaining effects upon the consumption and investment, providing exports with greater income elasticity that consequently contributes to the domestic product. However, with the macroeconomic crisis in the 1980s in Brazil and the new matrix of neoliberal policies, industrial policies lost their participation, triggering a process of deindustrialization in the Brazilian economy. This research has a double purpose: i) to present the benefits of the industry for the Brazilian economic growth and; ii) identify the factors that triggered the process of deindustrialization in the country. Using exploratory methodology and use of primary and secondary data, it was identified that Brazil is going through a process of early deindustrialization in its economy.
