Abstract

Capital intensiveness rises in dynamic sectors, yet without generating institutionalized commitments capable of passing on productivity gains, as became evident during the military regime. The subsequent establishment of a wage labor relation, was “highly competitive, segmented, and permanently monitored by the State”. Mobility and inequality were at the core of the transformation of the Brazilian social structure throughout the accelerated industrialization period. Both are, in turn, the outcome and the structuring force of the regime of accumulation set up during the military regime, at a time when inequality was steadily rising and social mobility was seriously constrained.
