Brasil: bloco no poder e a política de desestatização no período de 1995-2010

Abstract

The 1990s mark the rise of neoliberal ideology and the configuration of a power bloc in the Brazilian state under the hegemony of financial capital. This work aims to analyze the relationship between the power bloc and the privatization policy executed during the years 1995 and 2010. The main concepts about the role of the bloc in power in a capitalist state in a neoliberal economy will be presented, as well as a characterization of the composition of the bloc in power in force in the governments of Fernando Henrique Cardoso and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and an analysis of the National Privatization Program (NPP) data referring to the companies and capitalist fractions purchasing the state enterprises in the governments of the two presidents. From the results obtained, we can conclude that there was a change in the relationship between the ruling bloc and the privatization policy executed in the governments of FHC and Lula, in addition to the great international industrial bourgeoisie, the great national industrial bourgeoisie and the great national and international banking bourgeoisie were the fractions of bourgeois class that were members of the bloc in the bloc that appropriated public assets through the privatizations of the electricity, financial and petrochemical sectors carried out through the NPP in the period.
