Abstract
This article reflects on the role of the arbitristas (projectors) and their writings in the government and conservation of Brazil, during the union of Iberian crowns. Despite the existence of a historiography on the arbitristas in Portugal, historians have paid little attention to the study of the arbitrios about colonial Brazil.
