Causas e efeitos dos ciclos econômicos brasileiros: uma revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

The main objective of this monograph is to evaluate the constant changes in the direction of the Brazilian economy, from its discovery until 1960. Trying to understand why in the face of so many wealth so much and the natural resources found in our lands and in the vastness of our territory, with large areas of land conducive to agriculture, Brazil has not kept pace with the growth rate of other nations, and has failed to become a developed country. To achieve our objectives proposed in this work, we used the descriptive explanatory research method, and the procedure adopted was bibliographic research among several authors who identified themselves with the theme. To better understand our economy, we divided our studies into economic cycles anchored in products that leveraged the economy at a certain period in our political and economic history, which runs from the colony period (1518) to 1960, under JK, which implemented the program 50 years in 5 years, through the goal plan. The growth of Brazilian industrialization was leveraged by the massive entry of the multinational industry and government investments in the productive, energy and transportation sectors. During this tour of Brazilian economic and political history and based on the theory of adverse shocks, it is perceived that the country's economy always grows when there is stagnation in the international economy, because during these periods our national economy turned inward, stimulated itself with expansion of productive capacity, creating jobs, increased consumption, increase in state revenue, i.e. , we started to produce for the domestic market as well as manufacture much of the equipment and parts necessary for the maintenance of industrial equipment, promoting economic development during these periods.
