Um estudo sobre o neoliberalismo: origem, consequências e perspectivas futuras

Abstract

Neoliberalism is a historical phenomenon that is related to the capitalist production system and has significant influences on the social, political and cultural dynamics worldwide. In general, neoliberalism is characterized by a decrease in the role of the State and the drastic reduction of government participation in the economy. However, the objective of this work is to present the definition of neoliberalism, as well as its relevance and trajectory. The realization of this research is justified because it is an important theme that needs to be addressed in order to present texts essential to the current scenario. In this sense, this research is configured as of a theoretical nature, of a bibliographic character with a qualitative approach. The method of analysis employed in this work was the descriptive one. In order to offer the reader a greater understanding of the topic addressed, the relevant points go through. herefore, we methodologically divided the work into four chapters: in the first, the origins of neoliberalism and neoliberalism in Brazil were presented; in the second, the neoliberal reforms in the 1970s to 1990s; in the third, globalization and neoliberalism. And finally, in the fourth chapter, the criticisms and onsequences of neoliberalism were presented. Currently, neoliberalism has been shown to be highly effective in rescuing the tools used by capitalism to face its structural crisis. This has led to an even greater potentiation of the expressions of the Social Question. It is thus concluded that neoliberalism has faced criticism and relevant questions in relation to its consequences in society. Therefore, understanding and discussing these issues is fundamental to the construction of a fairer, more equitable and sustainable economic model.
