Description

Brazil is the world's sixth largest economy, has played a key role as one of the 'pink wave' administrations in Latin America, and was also responsible for wrecking the US-sponsored proposal for a Free Trade Area of the Americas. It is also one of the few large countries where social spending has risen and the distribution of income has improved in the last thirty years. However, as protests during the World Cup in 2014 have shown, the country remains highly unequal, unmet social needs are vast and its infrastructure is precarious. Alfredo Saad-Filho and Lecio Morais review the paradox that is modern-day Brazil. Focusing on the period from 1980 onwards, they analyse the tensions between the two systemic transitions to have dominated the country: the political transition from military rule to democracy, and to neoliberalism. The authors show how these transitions had contradictory logics and dynamics, yet ultimately became mutually supportive as they unfolded and intertwined. Review "Saad-Filho and Morais excel at providing a critical, powerful and persuasive analysis for Brazil's economic, social, and political development since the 1930s, emphasizing distinct transition paths from dictatorship to democracy and from state-led industrialization to neoliberalism. Grounded on a solid marxist political economy framework, this book is a must-read to understand Brazils current predicament and defying challenges ahead." --Lena Lavinas, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro "The contradiction between neoliberalism and democracy is now well-known: this books offers a new and profound insight into this through a sharp and convincing account of the Brazilian experience--combining the political transition from military dictatorship to democracy, and the economic transition from import-substituting industrialisation to neoliberalism. This is critical political economy at its best." --Jayati Ghosh, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi About the Author Alfredo Saad-Filho is Professor of Political Economy at SOAS, University of London. He is the author of Marx's 'Capital' (Pluto, 2005) amongst other works. Lecio Morais is economics advisor at the Lower House of the Brazilian Parliament.
