The economic intervention of the state has been particularly important in Brazil, and is an integral element of the so-called “economic model” which has been initiated by the bourgeoisie of other semi-colonial countries. This paper explores the issues posed by the ”associated-dependent” form of development in Brazil, with particular attention to the role of the capitalist state in the economic process. It then takes up the political implications of this debate, particularly the notion that state intervention is in some way “progressive”.
