Abstract: In the center of the present crisis of the Brazilian economy and society is thecrisis of the State. To understand this crisis, this paper makes a revision of the nature and therole of the Brazilian State in the present and in the past. The paper argues that in peripheralcapitalism, like Brazilian, the State has played different roles and has produced different effectsas compared to the State of developed countries. Here the State is not only an essentialand fundamental component of the process of capital accumulation but has difficulty playingthe role of arbiter of class conflicts and competition between different interest groups.Among other things, the nature of the Brazilian State has produced and reproduced increasinginequality and structural heterogeneity.
