Abstract

The excluding characteristics of the capitalist development model in Latin
America can be manifested in two main factors: low levels of wages, which force workers to
live in poverty, and the marginalization of a part of the population who cannot even match
the level of wage from workers. This paper has the intention to analyze the evolution of in
the industrial sector in Brazil in light of such facts.
