    In addition to the severe health crisis, the Covid-19 pandemic provoked one of the deepest socioeconomic crises in the history of capitalism. Yet, the economic structure of each country and the strength of the welfare state, along with the ability of the diverse governments to cope with the situation, resulted in very diverse outcomes. In particular, center and peripheral countries had very different policy spaces to deal with the crises. One of the important consequences of the pandemic for the world economy was the disruption of Global Value Chains (GVCs). The aim of this article is investigating the effects of the pandemic on the automotive and the textile industries in Brazil, as well as the responses from the national government, and from these sectors' companies and labor unions to this critical situation. Ultimately, it inspects if the pandemic and the so-called "coronacrisis" are provoking structural changes to Brazil's insertion in the international production networks of these two sectors. The methodology includes the analysis of data for the overall Brazilian economy and the two studied sectors (secondary data, but also our own estimations based on the National Household Survey); a review of the literature and the sectoral reports; and several interviews made with workers and managers in the two sectors, as well as policy makers. Despite the differences in the effects of the pandemic on both sectors, one commonality is the deepening of the precarity of working conditions, with increasing turnover in some subsectors, alternation of periods with no work and periods with very intense work and a decline in average incomes.

    The Covid-19 pandemic had different impacts across the globe, according to both country structure and conjunctural responses from local governments. This article aims to characterize the main traits of capitalism in Brazil, with a focus on its evolution over the last 20 years and the way these characteristics shaped both the impacts of the pandemic and the responses to the so-called "Corona-crisis". The hypothesis is that the socioeconomic impacts of any world crisis tend to be higher in peripheral countries, but the government reactions to such crises are important in determining the socioeconomic dynamics that evolve. The analysis is attentive to the interactions between aspects which are inherent to the capitalist system, aspects related to the Brazilian colonial history and the resulting insertion of Brazil in the global economy, and aspects related to the Brazilian current context - in particular the socioeconomic and political crises since 2014, the coup d'état against President Dilma Rousseff in 2016 and the outbreak of the pandemic in a country governed from 2018 to 2022 by a far-right government. The main conclusions are that the pandemic provoked no major changes, but rather accelerated ongoing movements and deepened some old traits of the Brazilian economy, especially its vulnerability, its structural heterogeneities, the precariousness of the labor market and social inequalities.
