Agrarian question, Social formation, Dependent capitalismAbstract
The article aims to make a critical analysis of the Brazilian agrarian question, as a especificity of Brazilian economic and social formation. It is based on Marxist social thought, emphasizing the theoretical contribution of Caio Prado Jr. It proposes that agrarian question is inseparable from dependent capitalism. Currently, landowners reinforce their influence over the State, through a number of private apparatus of hegemony, putting at risk food sovereignty and environment, and intensifying the contradictions with family farmers and the rural proletariat in search for autonomy
