What interests do these changes serve? What are the characteristics of the Brazilian railway policy as established within the period above? These are complex issues, that involves the state form (in terms of political society), its relation with the market, the financial globalization question, the internal panorama of class struggle etc., all of which requiring more detailed studies of the railway sector in the development of the capitalism in Brazil.
