What really is “international capital” in dependent economies, and how does it act politically? Taking Brazil as its case, this book answers with an original economic mapping — foreign companies, economic groups, banks and investment funds between 2015 and 2016 — organised through a new concept: the pattern of insertion of international capital (anchored, rentier or import-based). Analysing around 700 newspaper articles, it shows how rentier capital, concentrated in J.P. Morgan and Citi, wielded market ideology and rating pressure to demand austerity, helping topple Dilma Rousseff. The result is a fresh framework for reading neoliberal imperialism, financialisation and dependency across the global South.
