Abstract
The article examines the emergence of the modem middle classes in Brazil based on the appearance of a new common sense uniting this category around presuppositions typical of the world of large private enterprises. Transformations in the Brazilian economic fabric occasioned the formation of a new wage-earning middle class employed by the private sector. Because these changes coincided with the apex of the "neoliberal" ideology on the international level, this new cultural universe has at its base a strong anti-union component.
