This article has as its fundamental objective to bring in a balanced way the main theorists and theories about the essential characteristics of the Colonial Economy and the Economic Formation of Brazil. The reader will have the opportunity to know, even if in an introductory way, much of the Brazilian economic historiography of the twentieth century until the present day. And it will present the most relevant aspects of each explanatory model. In preparing to examine the evolution of the interpretive thinking of the Brazilian economy from the point of view of historiography, this article also proposes to put itself as an auxiliary instrument in the teaching-learning process of undergraduate courses in History and Economic Sciences, mainly for the subjects of History of Brazil Colony and Economic Formation of Brazil.
