O II Plano Nacional de Desenvolvimento e seus reflexos na economia e a atuação do empresariado mineiro (1974/1979)

Abstract

This study analyzes the political position of the industrial entrepreneurs from Minas Gerais, affiliated to the Federation Industries of State of Minas Gerais, in relation to the directives of the Second National Development Plan. It is noteworthy that the industrial entrepreneurs affiliated with FIEMG not politically challenged the military, focusing their speech on the claim of compliance with the economic guidelines created with the II PND, in particular, the prospect of decentralization of the Brazilian economy. Thus, unlike the FIESP, which largely adhered, because the II PND, the campaign for privatization and approached a critical position in relation to the military regime, FIEMG remained at a distance from such perspective and welcomed positively II PND. It is noted that the position of FIEMG derives from the perception of opportunity to tackle the development problems of Minas Gerais by appealing to the State, present at different times of the trajectory of Brazilian development, but especially striking in Minas Gerais, with a significant trace in class practice of the entrepreneur in the state.
