Abstract
The origins of Brazilian nationalism, whose influence on different political movements in colonial Brazil became notorious, dates back to the seventeenth century. The scale achieved by nationalism after independence deserves detailed analysis, however, not only because of political developments, such as the proclamation of the Republic, but mainly due to the subsequent formation of an eminently Brazilian political-economic strategy, national-developmentalism. In this context, figures such as general Serzedello Correa contributed greatly to the formation and formatting of an original economic thought in the periphery of the capitalist system.
