Teoria da Dependência: um estudo da interlocução dos pensamentos de Ruy Mauro Marini com a realidade empírica brasileira

Abstract

Ruy Mauro Marini, one of the students in the construction of The Dependency Theory, supports the proposition of a subordination among nations, fed to ensure and to maintain the condition of dependence of the periphery countries as far as the central countries are concerned. This work objectives to discuss the approach of The Dependency Theory, according to the thoughts of Ruy Mauro Marini, within the Brazilian context. It is characterized as an empirical-analytical research, for analyzing secondary data from the Brazilian trade balance and from 416 corporations of different sectors of Brazil. Its data, concerning the distribution of wealth among employees, refers to the period from 1999 to 2003, compared to the United Kingdom’s. The result approaches to the proposition of the Dependency Theory about labor overexploitation when comparing Brazil to the United Kingdom for the distribution of wealth of its corporations and it reaffirms the cycle of dependent economy capital in Brazil.
