Summary: This thesis argues that since Plano Real a new model of public intervention was consolidaded in Brazil, resulting directly from the impact of the financial pattern of accumulation logic over brazilian economy and society. Considering that in the 1970s there was a change in the world accumulation pattern and that financialization has subjected national economies capitalist logic. In Brazil, during the 1980s there was a crisis between two patterns of accumulation, the transition from the political regime and the ascending phase of class struggle cycle that began at the end of the military regime. Brazilian economy began to be impacted by financialization in the 1980s, but it was mainly from the 1990s
that it reached public intervention. Thus, the problem that guided this
thesis was: how did financialization impact public intervention from the
beginning of the 1990s to 2010, by the end of the Lulas presidency? This thesis method was bibliographical research and empirical data analyses. It is divided into two parts containing eight chapters. In the first part theoretical categories, that support this thesis, such as, capital in general, State, state intervention, political regime and public intervention are developed, from the point of view of "derivation theory". After that, the following topics are analyzed: (i) the main aspects of class struggle development throughout the twentieth century; (ii) the evolution of accumulation patterns; (iii) the relationship of both with changes in the political regime and; (iv) in public intervention. The second part examines the subject of the thesis, from the election of FHC in 1995, until the end of the Lulas presidency in 2010. In the final considerations, the thesis is demonstrated starting from the conclusions and arguments extracted in each one of the chapters.
