- Abstract
- In the period from 1964 to 1985, Brazil experienced a dictatorial regime and also its greatest economic growth rates. In this study, I will address the most relevant economic and political characteristics of the period of military rule in Brazil, and will establish the historical context which shaped them, emphasizing that political power in Brazil during the military years was legitimized by the commonly-held belief that Brazil's economic growth could exist only under a dictatorial regime. This work is mainly based on research from books, articles and reports about politics and economics of Brazil during the military regime. The conclusion of this investigation stresses that economic problems are always political matters in Brazil. Without economic growth, the military government in Brazil became weak and lost popular support, which ultimately occasioned the return of the democratic regime.
