Te results indicate support for Kaldor's laws and that there are indications of the intensification of the process of deindustrialization of the Brazilian economy during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the importance of adopting strategies that focus on reversing this process and that, in this way, enable, higher rates of economic growth.
