Political Economy of Brazil de P. Arestis

Political Economy of Brazil: Recent Economic Performance

P. Arestis

A. Saad-Filho

This book assesses the performance of the first Lula government (2002-06) from different perspectives including economics, politics, history and social policy. While the focus is on Brazil, it also refers to the experiences of similar countries both for comparative purposes and for evidence of the success or otherwise of this 'new' era for Brazil.
