Brasil está pasando por un proceso de desindustrialización

An important economic issue is whether Brazil is under a deindustrialization process or not. This paper deepens the complex debate about Brazilian deindustrialization and the authors suggest that there is not a simple answer. The causes of the deindustrialization process are analyzed and its ramifications and its impacts to the industrial structure are considered. Data and information about five industrial groups are considered since the 90´s. The paper demonstrates that Brazil is going through a premature deindustrialization process which is not generalized, although it restricts the country development.
