PADRÕES DE DESENVOLVIMENTO, FUNÇÕES ESTATAIS E ENDIVIDAMENTO NO CAPITALISMO CONTEMPORÂNEO

Abstract

This article discusses the transformations of the capitalism in the 20th century adopting as theoretical itinerary the concept of economical cycle, in which the analyses of the development pattern and crisis are enrolled, and the function of the indebtedness in the contemporary capitalist reproduction. We seek, then, to elaborate a characterization of the capitalism during the 20th century the political-economical function and the autonomy of the State and the role of the indebtedness. In that way, the characterization of the movements of the capitalism will be considered inside of a long wave of development, marked by an ascending phase, known as "the gold years", and for a descending phase, in which we were, marked by the coming of the crisis, stagnation and turbulence.
