Abstract

In the course of this text, it is intended to examine, first, the capillarity of the conquest of the Amazon Region for the purposes of the expanded reproduction of capital in a context of crisis and how the constitution of infrastructure and development megaprojects appear as mechanisms of systematic activation of control of extraction of natural resources to meet the demands of financialization. Second, it seeks to understand the peculiarity of Chinese capital's intervention in this region, aiming to ensure the speed of the commodity circuit for its market and the need to deepen the processes of overaccumulation through spoliation of natural wealth. Finally, it is highlighted how the processes of accumulation by dispossession are inscribed in Conservation Units, Indigenous Lands and Quilombola Territories to meet the large-scale
reproduction of financial capital.
