Development and dependence in Brazil is an subject controversial today yet. Identifying the moorings and bottlenecks that does not allow us to provide a dignified life to all our nationals is a subject studied for more than a century, since the creation of the national academy. This paper aims to reinterpret Brazilian historiography, from the Proclamation of the Republic to the period of Neoliberalism, under the methodology of dialectical historical materialism, with the purpose of elucidating the real and theoretical evolution of Brazilian dependent capitalism. It begins with the Proclamation of the Republic because it is understood here that Brazilian critical thinking developed along with the development of the specifically capitalist mode of production in the country. The Proclamation of the Republic being soon after the abolition of slavery and, therefore, a milestone in the capitalist relations of production. It was also the moment when the state passed into the hands of the national bourgeoisie directly. The extension of the temporal clipping to the present period of neoliberalism is done to elucidate the transformations of the world and national economy that took place during this period and of how the developmental economic theory was presented before it. Understanding Dependency Theory as a critique of developmentalism, the heart of this paper deals with the analysis of this theory, in its main currents - the Marxist Theory of Dependency and the Dependency Theory of Cardoso and Faletto - looking to identify the most accurate analysis after 50 years of its initial elaborations. It is concluded that, despite the appearance of development in the short term, sustained, above all, by the State's effort to promote development, the dependent capitalism, as an alternative development, failed. Thus, the initial thesis of André Gunder Frank, the Development of Underdevelopment in the relation between peripheral countries and central countries, remains alive, maintaining itself as a starting point for the explanation of the national reality
