Para tanto, concentra-se na articulação entre política assistencial via Bolsa Família à classe trabalhadora, por um lado, e política econômica dedicada à vultosa remuneração às burguesias nacionais e estrangeiras, por outro. Igualmente, destina-se atenção à concepção difundida pelo presidente Lula, além dos representantes do Banco Mundial, segundo os quais a articulação acima referida seria uma "revolução silenciosa". A realização dessa pesquisa contou com o referencial teórico fundado no materialismo histórico, a partir do qual se edificou o campo categorial necessário ao cumprimento dos objetivos listados / Abstract: This research aims to make a criticism of the Lula government and its approach to the Brazilian poverty. To do so, it focuses on the articulation between, on one hand, welfare policy Family Grant to the working class and, second, economic policy dedicated to pay big money to domestic and foreign bourgeoisies. Also, is intended to design widespread attention by President Lula, in addition to representatives of the International Monetary Fund, according to which the link above would be a quiet revolution. The realization of this research was the theoretical framework based on historical materialism, from which the field is built categorical necessary to achieve the objectives listed / Doutor

In this analysis, I estimate the impact of the changing relative size of the adult male population, classified by age and education groups, on the earnings of employed males living in 502 Brazilian local labor markets during four time periods between 1970 and 2000. The effects of shifts in the age distribution of the working age population have been studied in relation to the effect of the baby-boom generation on the earnings of different cohorts in the United States. However, the question has received little attention in the context of the countries in Asia and Latin America, which are now experiencing substantial shifts in their age-education distributions. Taking advantage of the huge variation across Brazilian local labor markets, the models in this research suggest that age-education groups are not perfect substitutes, so that own-cohort-education size depresses earnings, as expected by the theory. Compositional shifts are influential, attesting that this approach represents a fruitful way of studying this central problem in economic development, going beyond the effects normally analyzed by formal labor market equations. / text

In Brazil, the coincidence of massive growth and growing inequalities was also combined with an authoritarian regime. This coincidence led the dependency scholars to link the Brazilian economic model and the repressive and authoritarian nature of the political regime. However, the Brazilian democratization process, taking roots in the mid-70s, reformulated the issue. Indeed, while remaining committed to transnationalism, a democratization process was underway. This paper argues that the democratization process is consistent with, and even motivated by, the regulation imperatives of the regime of accumulation. However, these regulation imperatives limit the nature and scope of democratic reforms. Nevertheless, transnationalism also lay the foundations for more progressive and democratic option to emerge in formal politics and in civil society.
