Brazil: territory of the social production of abundance and scarcity

Abstract

This article discusses some factors responsible for the reproduction of a new geography of the inequalities in Brazil. The unequal appropriation of technique and income – forged and done by agriculture’s modernization, by the agrarian concentration, by the rural exodus and metropolization of poverty and by the privileges of the State, which are aproved of exportation agriculture – constitutes the base of the construction and the sustentation of a new scarcity socially produced in this country.
