In this article we propose to shed light on how the industrialization of the Itajaí Valley / SC was approached in the historiography of Santa Catarina and in the political economy. We will cover the main works of authors who have dedicated themselves to the theme from the 60s to the 2000s, in their different theoretical aspects. Thus, through a bibliographical approach, we propose to identify the differences and similarities between the different perspectives that were dedicated to the research of industrialization in that region. Through a comparative analysis it was possible to trace an aspect that pervades all the studied works: the persistence of the Teuto-Brazilian entrepreneur as historical actor of the industrialization. Keywords: Industrialization; Itajaí Valley; German-Brazilian. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
