Abstract
Brazil experienced an intensive cycle of economic growth and crisis between the seventies and the eighties,. The core of this behavior was the industrial sector. This paper analyses this recent cycle in the ligth of the regulation approach. It starts analysing statistical data of Brazilian industry in order to detect the causes of that movement. It is possible to point out as the main cause of crisis the failing rate of produtcivity growth and the rising real wages in the second half of the seventies that produced a decline in the rate of mark up. The same movement was detected by regulationist researches on developed countries and was assumed as the main cause of the crises of the so called fordist mode of development. In this way, the mode of development of Brazilian economy can be seen as an adaptation to a peripheral country of that kind of capitalist accumulation and described as a "tropical fordism".
