This book aims to (i) "x-ray" the socio-economic transformations of the capitalist mode of production throughout the 1990s, seeking to situate them as results of the dialectical process of production and reproduction of capital in its continuous search for new accumulative spaces; and (ii) analyse the contemporary deepening of the structural dependence of Latin American countries - mainly from the sectorally and socially disarticulated Brazilian reality - arising from the movements of national and international capitalist fractions during the 1990s.
