This article aims to discuss the inclusion of Brazil in the structural capital crisis, particularly focusing on the specifics of the Brazilian model of adjustment, undertaken throughout the current century from the delineation of the analytical elements that allow us to enter the complex web of the Brazilian social life in recent years. This is a theoretical essay produced from the critical reading of texts made by analysts, researches and scholars of the contemporary Brazilian reality. Starting from two fundamental assumptions: we are living a new moment and a new temporality demarcating the capital system. The Brazilian crisis is a peculiar incarnation of the capital crisis in its permanent geographical dislocation. We outline, by means of conclusion that whilst a particular of the capital crisis, the Brazilian crisis expresses the exhaustion of a cycle of adjustments with grave social, political, economic and environmental implications.
