%X this article presents, in the first place, an inventory of academic production on the entrepreneurial sector as a political actor in brazil. we intend to argue that since the early 1950s and until the present, an important part of this literature is centered around a fundamental debate: whether the brazilian entrepreneurial class should be considered a "weak" or a "strong" political actor. in the second 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 in the issue.
