This article aims to problematize the current moment of Brazilian capitalism and the consequent centralization of the education market. The concept of the social form of capital in the world market is briefly discussed and the current category of dependence applied to the so-called peripheral countries is questioned. There is a growing educational centralization in some corporate megacorporations. This description has the purpose of trying to apprehend the movement of expansion of the specifically capitalist relationship to broad sectors of the market economy. Thus, leaving the classic division between nations in global geopolitics in evident anachronism, becoming more appropriate to apprehend the real through the analysis of these corporations. Finally, the need for a radical theoretical research initiative capable of providing unitary and coherent explanations with the economic, political, social and educational reality to working class organizations is pointed out, because only in the power of this correct understanding will it be possible to leave the catastrophic defeat in which we find ourselves.
