Had the urbanization and industrialization processes triggered in the country from 1930 on supposedly put an end to a certain pattern of oligarchic domination or had the latter been reinvented due to the re-structuration of the social and political relations? Many were the Brazilian social thinkers that surveyed the persistencies, adaptations, and permanences that were being established in the second half of the twentieth century. In this article, two positions will be highlighted that sometimes complement one another and sometimes repel one another, when dealing with the social and political changes conducts and misconducts in the country. Maria Isaura Pereira de Queiroz has the merit of focusing microsociologically the actions, the attitudes, the values that indicated the oligarchy power in Brazil. Celso Furtado, on his turn, while working in the 1950s with SUDENE, also verified that the oligarchy power was huge. However, this power could be contested through the expansion of the social forces that won substantiality with the industrialization process.Downloads
