Consecuencias del avance de la frontera pecuaria capitalista y sus implicaciones en las disputas por la tierra de la Amazonia, Pará, Brasil
(Servicios Académicos Intercontinentales S.L., 2018-09) CARVALHO, André Cutrim; CARDOSO, Karina dos Santos; SOARES, André Araújo Sombra; SOARES, Daniel Araújo Sombra
The main objective of this article is to discuss the process of expansion of the capitalist agricultural frontier, based on the numerous conflicts over land in the Brazilian Amazon region, especially the State of Pará. It must be understood that capitalist agriculture develops according to the advancement of the agricultural goods market, in addition as the urban population grows, the demand for food for general consumption and raw materials for agribusiness also increases considerably, therefore, ownership of land means that certain individuals have the monopoly that gives them the right to dispose of certain parts of the country's land as something absolutely private that no one can use without their consent and authorization. This is because the land, as the main means of production in agriculture, is not a product of human labor, that is, theoretically it has no exchange value in terms of socially necessary labor time, therefore, capitalist agriculture aims maximization of the rate of profit and hence the increased accumulation of capital. In this way, this pattern of capitalist development based on the expansion of the capitalist agricultural frontier in the region continues to this day.

The importance of financial institutions for the development of the brazilian Amazon: an application of the social accounting matrix
(Universidad Alberto Hurtado, 2015-10) CARVALHO, André Cutrim; CARVALHO, David Ferreira
The fundamental purpose of this article is intended to measure the economic impacts that the regional financial institutions are providing along the chain of values of the productive activities located in the Brazilian Amazon and their impacts on economic activities through the Social Accounting Matrix. The main conclusion is that to break the status quo in the region, it is necessary to set a national regional development policy that favors the formation of vertically integrated production chains and a trade policy that encourages the export of most products value-added so that the benefits arising can be internalized in the Brazilian Amazon in the form of income and employment.
