RESUMO

This research aims to investigate the relationship between the World Bank and the State of U.S.A, using the concept of "capitalist collective", by Marx and Engels. We will study two peculiar moments of the institution history, when it focused in the poverty alleviation: during the presidency of McNamara (1968-1981) and in the 1990s. These periods were also special because there was a lot of conflict between the Bank and the State of U.S.A. We believe that the cause of the conflicts may be the autonomy of the institution. The analogy with the concept of "capitalist collective" is, therefore, explained by our presumption that the Bank is responsible for the long term interests of the White House. The latter would aim her short term interests, connected with her global leadership, specially in occasions of uncertainty
