This article presents, in the first place, an inventory of academic production on the entrepreneurialsector as a political actor in Brazil. We intend to argue that since the early 1950s and until thepresent, an important part of this literature is centered around a fundamental debate: whether theBrazilian entrepreneurial class should be considered a “weak” or a “strong” political actor. In thesecond place, we propose a research agenda on the issue. For such purposes, we raise issues that,when taken together, provide a wide-ranging script for study on the topic. In expounding this script,we identify elements that can be explored by the community of social scientists that have interest inthe issue.
