Brazilian Journal of Political Economy, 1986, vol. 6, issue 4, 586-593

Abstract: This paper analyses some relationships between the agrarian problem and theprocess of capitalist development in Brazil. It argues that the increase in productivity associatedwith the deepening of the social division of labor changes the relations of productionin the agricultural sector. The peasantry firstly linked to the feudal latifundia becomes wagelabor hired on seasonal basis for the capitalist farms. In this context, the land problememerges as a financial issue associated basically with the land price. As a result, the agrarianreform based on the purchase of large areas by the government will not be a solution for theagrarian problem since it will support an increase in land prices. JEL Classification: Q15; Q18.
