A EVOLUÇÃO DA INDÚSTRIA BRASILEIRA E SEUS IMPACTOS SOBRE O CRESCIMENTO ECONÔMICO NO PERÍODO PÓS-1980: UMA SÍNTESE DO DEBATE COMO FONTE DE PERSPECTIVAS PARA O FUTURO

Abstract

This paper aimed to summarize the controversial debate about the evolution of Brazilian industry and its impact on the country's economic growth in the post-1980 period. In an attempt to offer the reader a theoretical framework that allows a better understanding and reflection on the debate, we take as a starting point a brief presentation of Nicholas Kaldor's (1966) approach about the economic growth. In view of this Kaldorian theoretical framework, we consider in this work that the presentation of the aforementioned empirical debate, however controversial, allows us to construct somewhat worrisome perspectives on the growth and development of the Brazilian industry and economy in the long term.
