O avanço do neoliberalismo no período democrático brasileiro: da Era Collor ao Governo Temer (1990 - 2018)

Abstract

This dissertation aims to analyze the advancement and consolidation of neoliberalism in Brazil during the democratic period (1990-2018), investigating its economic, social, and political consequences. To achieve this, a descriptive, qualitative, and quantitative approach is adopted, incorporating a literature review, historical analysis, and the use of secondary economic and social data collected from various sources such as IBGE, IPEA, BACEN, and BNDES to assess the impacts of neoliberal policies. The study concludes that the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff, which took place in a context of political and economic crisis, aimed to restore and deepen neoliberalism, enabling the implementation of reforms such as the Constitutional Amendment on the Expenditure Ceiling (PEC do Teto de Gastos) and the Labor Reform. These measures resulted in increased job insecurity, a reduced capacity of the state as a redistributive agent, and a deepening of social inequalities.
