A desindustrialização brasileira no período Lula (2003 – 2010) : a política cambial e a taxa de juros – ruptura ou continuidade?

Abstract

This work aims to collaborate to understand the debate about deindustrialization in Brazil. We argue that, despite the economic growth, the economic policies of the Lula government continued the Brazilian deindustrialization resulting from the commercial and financial opening of the 1990s. We analyzed how the commercial and financial opening of the 1990s started the process of deindustrialization and how the economic policies related to this process, we also investigated whether the policies adopted between the years 2003 to 2010 continued the process of deterioration of the national industry
