ABSTRACT This paper aims to highlight the major changes in the global economy that affect Brazilian industrial development and mark out the strategies that could move the country toward a more robust productive structure. It is argued that the debate on deindustrialization in Brazil, although it had an important contribution to highlight the importance of manufacturing for economic development, did not deep the discussion about the limits and possibilities of Brazilian industrial development. That debate did not adequately consider those changes in the global economy, related to the more fierce global competition scenario and to the changes in the strategies of Transnational Corporations.

Abstract: Agribusiness, including all its dimensions, is the largest economic sector in Brazil and plays a fundamental role in the development of the country's economy. About one-fourth of the Brazilian Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is composed of agribusiness. The objective of this article is to evaluate the participation of agribusiness in the economy of an important region of Brazil from 2010 to 2015. The evaluation was carried out through the decomposition of GDP, with an analysis of aggregate inputs, agro-livestock products, industrialization, and services. This article presents three main contributions to the understanding and composition of agribusiness GDP. The novelty of this article lies in the fact that it is the first work in the literature to present the steps of the methodology for calculating GDP in a region representing Brazilian agribusiness, considering its aggregates and relating the generation of taxes and other factors. In addition to the empirical and methodological contributions, this article highlights the relevance of agribusiness to the Brazilian economy, which, in turn, has relevance to global agribusiness.

ABSTRACT Ignácio Rangel may be the more original analyst of the Brazilian economic development. His contribution was made particularly in the 1950s and 1960s. Influenced by Keynes and Marx, he adopts a historical and dialectical method. He was the first Brazilian economist to introduce the Kondratieff’ long cycles in the analysis of the Brazilian economy. ln his analysis of Brazil, he always stressed its dual and dynamic character, where the long cycles and changing process of leading social classes presides the process of accumulation in new sectors of the economy, transferring resources from the sector with idle capacity. His major contribution, however, was in inflation theory. He criticized the monetarist and the structuralist views of inflation and showed the endogenous character of the money supply in a pioneering way. As early as 1978 he realized the financial crisis of the state and, in spite of his left leaning position, proposed the privatization of public utilities.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this article is to characterize the current Brazilian economic situation and make its datation. Nowadays, Brazil has the main characteristics of the depressions of the 1870s and 1930s. During those events there was a sharp fall in output, a high unemployment rate and a prolonged insufficiency of demand. Brazil, since the end of 2013 and during the year 2014, presented the first signs of a recession that could slide off into depression. By 2015, it plunged into depression. Depression is an abnormal condition of an economy. A recession would be a normal economic condition.
