The analysis questions the role of Rio de Janeiro's business community with the state in shaping a neoliberal economic order in Brazil. To this end, the participation of transnational capital in the conjuncture is outlined. The discussion focuses on the period between the holding of the II Plenary of Industry and Commerce of Rio de Janeiro, in 1982, and concludes in 2002, the last year of the second term of office Fernando Henrique Cardoso. Referring to the importance of the state for the neoliberal agenda to be implemented in the country, in 1995, the President of the Republic even said that "Rio de Janeiro must be the beacon of Brazil." The surveyed period is marked by the foreign debt crisis, the collapse of the New York Stock Exchange, unsuccessful economic plans, and the formation of the Rio de Janeiro Coordinating Council for Federal Actions, aligned with local and transnational business propositions, in a scenario of economic stabilization caused by the Real Plan.
