Neoliberalism, public policies and inequality: An analysis mainly of Brazil

Abstract

In Neoliberalism, Public Policy, and Inequality: An Analysis Mainly of Brazil, we intend to identify the main aspects and interests of neoliberal politics and its effort to use the State as an instrument to benefit financial capital, equipping it and equating it with the private company. Our objective is to show that capitalism, with its cyclical economic and social crises, does not offer alternatives to overcome unemployment, as well as the inequality that spreads in all countries. In the financial sector and in large companies, there was an unprecedented policy of opening borders with the reduction of labor and social rights. However, this policy must be analyzed and considered.
