The neoliberal economic model implemented in 1990 is largely responsible for worsening Brazil's social problems today. Social devastation has been the main result of the neoliberal economic model in Brazil inaugurated by President Fernando Collor in 1990 and maintained by Presidents Itamar Franco, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Lula da Silva, Dilma Roussef, Michel Temer and Jair Bolsonaro. The current economic recession, social inequality, mass unemployment and the extreme poverty of the country demonstrate the infeasibility of the neoliberal model implemented in Brazil. The social devastation suffered by Brazil with social inequality, mass unemployment and extreme poverty is demonstrated through indicators of concentration of income, unemployment, social inequality and extreme poverty.
The progressive forces of the nation that wish to end corruption, the resumption of economic growth, the development of Brazil on a new basis and the defense of national sovereignty should unite with efforts to choose a candidate for the presidency of the Republic committed to the proposals presented in this article and defeat the retrograde forces that wish to maintain the status quo. It is urgent, therefore, to launch a candidate for the presidency of the Republic who undertakes to break with neoliberalism and put into practice the strategies suggested in this article.
Brazil poverty and inequality. Where to next?Oxfam Brasil
This paper brings a multidimensional analysis of poverty and inequality in Brazil by presenting data for key indicators in recent years, exploring the main policies that contributed to or hindered progress, and indicating challenges and possible ways forward.
Despite very significant advancements in recent years, Brazil still faces severe problems and urgent challenges. By looking at the reality
of income, jobs, taxation, health, education, land distribution, food and nutrition, and citizen participation in the country, the analysis
presented here outlines areas where structural changes or specific policies are still needed, and also points to ways of perfecting
successful initiatives already in place.
This is important not only because Brazil still has a long way to go in terms of poverty and inequality reduction, but also due to the country’s growing influence in the international arena. Either by governmental engagement in bilateralism and multilateralism, or by activities of private actors supported (or not discouraged) by the government, Brazil’s development model already has significant impacts on other countries, especially in Latin America and Africa.
Naturally, in one single paper it is not possible to explore all the factors examined here with the level of detail that they deserve. However,
it is possible to present an overall picture, point to the most significant trends, and indicate key areas of concern for those who are willing to promote social justice – helping to draw comprehensive frameworks for action.
The economic and social situation in Brazil now is quite serious because the failure in social progress is added to the failure in economic progress with the economic stagnation that generates mass unemployment. This situation resulted from the fact that no governments of Brazil since 1990 planned the development of the Brazilian economy because they obeyed what the Washington Consensus establishes by adopting the neoliberal economic model that does not allow effective State intervention in the economy. In our book, Os fatores condicionantes do desenvolvimento econômico e social (The conditioning factors for economic and social development), published by Editora CRV de Curitiba in 2012, we emphasize the need for government planning to avoid anarchy in the economic activity typical of the governments of capitalist countries that only intervene in the economy at times of crisis. In that book, we affirm that in the process of governmental planning, “in the design of a country's developmental policies, it is necessary to identify the internal and external factors that condition economic and social development, and then to characterize those that are booster and restrictive”.
Brazil is living decisive moments in its history. It is necessary to change the failed political-institutional system, the inefficient and in ineffective system of public administration and the failed neoliberal economic system to promote Brazil's journey towards economic and social progress. The future of Brazil is in the hands of the Brazilian people.

The failure of the political and economic systems of brazilFernando Alcoforado
The Brazilian people need to understand that small changes or simple reforms are not enough in political institutions and existing legislations and in fiscal adjustments like PEC 241/55 of the Michel Temer government to overcome the current economic crisis because the Brazilian crisis is structural. It is fundamentally urgent to overcome the gigantic economic crisis, the deep political crisis, the management crisis of the public administration and the moral and ethical crisis that threaten Brazil's future. It must be understood that all these crises are interconnected and that none of them will be overcome in isolation without overcoming the others. The first of the crises to be overcome is the political crisis in the face of the absence of governability of President Michel Temer with the convening of a new National Constituent Assembly to reorder the national life in new bases aimed at overcoming the economic crises, of management of public administration and ethical and moral.
Brazil facing internal economic problems and the ruin of the world economyFernando Alcoforado
Brazil faces two major obstacles to its development: 1) the neoliberalism that has been devastating the country since 1990; and 2) the process of ruining the world economy. The economic model. It is urgent that the Brazilian State take the reins of the national economy by abandoning the failed neoliberal economic model to reactivate the Brazilian economy and full employment. Brazil should fight in international fora for the establishment of a stable international financial system not subordinated to financial capital and the establishment of a democratic world government that, in addition to promoting economic ordering on a world scale, should create the conditions to meet the great challenges of the world. humanity in the 21st century.
South african welfare state and the demographic dividend's window of opportunityFabio Torreggiani
In this paper, I analysed the main characteristics of the South African Welfare State in terms of inputs and outputs of the key policies usually identified by the literature to be useful to exploit a demographic dividend. In particular, I focused on the state of the labour market, the social assistance policies and the education and healthcare systems. To do this I studied some quantitative indicators of both inputs and outputs and I reported the qualitative analysis of some other articles of these individuals sectors. The conclusion is that, despite some important progress made by the democratic governments, there are many improvements needed to create a consistent and inclusive growth.
In view of the fact that the Michel Temer government does not have ethical and moral conditions to continue to govern Brazil and does not have the capacity to lead efforts to solve the economic and political-institutional crises, the Brazilian people should demand that the Chamber of Deputies accept the denunciation of passive corruption against Michel Temer to remove him from the Presidency of the Republic and, after 180 days, demand that the National Congress elect a new President of the Republic that will constitute a government of national salvation and commit itself to the convening of a new National Constituent Assembly to carry out the political reforms and of the State and of Public Administration reforms, after which it would hold new general elections in Brazil.
Brazil faces four major threats that could jeopardize its future: 1) the escalation of fascism in Brazil; 2) the worsening social situation of the working class in Brazil; 3) the economic backwardness of the country; and 4) the end of national sovereignty. Each of these threats is demanding the positioning of the Brazilian people to act to overcome them.
Urges the construction of a new alternative of political power in brazilFernando Alcoforado
The lack of political conditions to make economic changes that meet the interests of the nation and ensure the governance of the current power holders is committed because the government Dilma Rousseff has shown not have political force, does not have enough power and have no leadership to propose the nation a national development project that contributes to reverse the current situation. Time works against the government Dilma Rousseff whose tendency is to worsen the current situation and drop in acceptance of his government by the Brazilian population. All this set of factors can contribute to growth the movement for impeachment of Dilma Rousseff. Given this perspective, the Brazilian nation have to build a new alternative power with the creation of a new party that is the antithesis of the parties that held power after the military regime and demonstrate they are unable to promote economic and social development of country for the benefit of the vast majority of its population, and many of them are complicit with systemic corruption that advances in all instances of national power.
The presidential election winner of Brazil must understand that it will only be able to exercise governability if it builds the social peace that is a state of balance and understanding among the inhabitants of the same country, where the respect between them is acquired by the acceptance of the differences and conflicts are resolved through dialogue, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and all are at their highest point of serenity without social tension.

The trajectory of Brazil throughout its history is deplorable because the country still faces problems that were created and persist since the colonial period and the attempts of its overcoming were aborted by the repression against the social movements, by the overthrow of governments committed to the progress of the country and with the adoption of anti-national and anti-social government policies. The Bolsonaro government continues this abhorrent trajectory because its election to the Presidency of the Republic is contributing to: 1) the rise of fascism to power in Brazil; 2) the deterioration of the social situation of the working class in Brazil; 3) the country's economic backwardness; and, 4) the definitive end of national sovereignty.

Internal public debt and mass unemployment in brazil are the problems that de...Fernando Alcoforado
In order to solve the problems of internal public debt and unemployment, the federal government will have to renegotiate with its creditors (national and foreign banks, investment funds, pension funds and non-financial corporations) the reduction of expenses with the payment of debt service lengthening the payment of interest and amortizations of the public debt for the federal government to have the necessary resources to reactivate the Brazilian economy.
It will be inevitable the impeachment of Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff not only due to fiscal responsibility crimes that she has committed, but also by all the devastating work on the Brazilian economy that she and Lula held that and Lula held it in 13 years of PT governments. The balance of 13 years of PT governments indicates the lack of commitment of both governments to the great struggles of the Brazilian people carried on the past 50 years, a historical inconsistency traitor. This inconsistency has occurred, especially in the economic and moral planes. Inconsistency in the economic sphere is manifested in the fact that both governments have given continuity to the neoliberal and anti-national policy of the Fernando Collor, Itamar Franco and Fernando Henrique Cardoso following what established the Washington Consensus in the 1990s. On the moral sphere, it was institutionalized systemic corruption in the PT governments that contributed to pushing Petrobras and the country to bankruptcy.
The allocation of most of the budgetary resources of the Brazilian government (45%) for the payment of interest and amortization of public debt is unsustainable in the medium and long term because Brazil would not have public resources to invest in economic and social infrastructure and transfer resources to social security and to the states and municipalities. In addition to the domestic public debt that compromises the future of the country, the foreign debt in the amount of US$ 523.7 billion in June 2016 that exceeds US$ 379 billion of the country's reserves increases further the economic vulnerability of Brazil. Taking into account the risk that Brazil may face in the future with the "explosion" of domestic and external debt, it is urgent to carry out an audit of the debt and its renegotiation in order to stretch it in time to reduce the country's burden of payment service of these debts. Without the adoption of this policy, the Brazilian government will have to make foresight social reform to the detriment of the population and privatize public assets as is being advocated by the government Michel Temer.
Poverty, Inequality and Social Policies in Brazil: 1995-2009 UNDP Policy Centre
Since the mid-1990s, Brazil has undergone extensive reforms that have finally reversed the dismaying economic performance of the 1980s. In particular, poverty and inequality indicators have improved dramatically, especially since the late-2000s. This new paper published by the International Policy Centre for Inclusive Growth (IPC-IG) provides an overview of such recent trends and discusses the role played by four major government interventions: public education, the minimum wage law, Social Security pensions and Social Assistance transfers. Additionally, available data sets and methods for policy evaluation are also discussed. Check out more IPC-IG papers on social protection in the developing and emerging countries here: http://www.ipc-undp.org/CctNew.do?language=1&active=3
This article aims to present what would be necessary in terms of a government plan to be put into practice immediately by the future ruler of Brazil, that is, by the future President of the Republic. The government plan necessary for Brazil now should have as its primary objective the elimination of unemployment, poverty, violence and inflation that profoundly affect Brazilian society. The government plan should consider these priorities because they constitute the biggest scourges faced by the Brazilian population whose solution cannot be postponed, that is, it has to happen immediately. Unemployment reached record levels in Brazilian history. The number of Brazilians in extreme poverty increases dramatically in the same way as the unemployment rate. Brazil is the country with the highest rate of firearm deaths per inhabitant. Inflation erodes the income of all Brazilians, but it is crueler to those with less income. The government plan of the future ruler of Brazil should therefore prioritize the elimination of unemployment, poverty, violence and inflation in the country.
The economic and financial performance of a government as well as a company is measured by the results obtained. A company is economically and financially successful when its production grows, is profitable and has a growing market share, among other factors. A government is economically and financially successful when it contributes to the increase in production and employment in general, the country has a growing GDP, has tax collection higher than public expenditure, and has a current account balance of payments surplus, among other factors. If we take into account the economic and financial results obtained, the Bolsonaro government has been a resounding failure.

PRESIDENT LULA AND HIS CHALLENGES TO GOVERN.pdfFaga1939
President-elect Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva faces six major challenges: 1) Uniting the deeply divided Brazilian people; 2) Rebuild the country after the devastation produced by the Bolsonaro government; 3) Reactivate the stagnant economy since 2014; 4) Eliminate poverty in Brazil; 5) Preserve the environment devastated during the Bolsonaro government; and, 6) Strengthen democracy threatened by neo-fascism in Brazil. The challenge of uniting the Brazilian people is fundamental because President Lula will only be able to govern the country and strengthen democracy if he puts into practice a government plan that meets the interests of the entire Brazilian population, rebuilds the country, reactivates the economy, assist the socially disinherited and preserve the environment.
BRAZIL NEEDS A PRESIDENT ABLE TO STOP ITS ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL REGRESSION IN T...Faga1939
This article aims to demonstrate the imperative need to halt the economic and social regression in Brazil, which has been accentuated since 1980 and which has worsened since then and which has had a negative impact on Brazilian society.
President Lula said in his inaugural speech in 2003 he won the election because hope (of the people) won fear (of change). However, when taking office, President Lula and his team have shown that the fear of facing the real causes of national problems overlapped on the hope of the people to carry out the changes required to promote economic and social progress of Brazil because it kept neoliberal economic policy of the Fernando Henrique Cardoso government.
Instead of mobilizing civil society to together with the government to develop and implement a national development plan capable of breaking the barriers to economic and social progress of Brazil that correspond to the true interests of the majority of the Brazilian people, governments of PT (Worker Party) of Lula and Dilma Rousseff decided to maintain the neoliberal economic model opened in the Fernando Collor government which resulted in increased dependence of the country on foreign capital and low economic growth.
Brazil's workers are faced with the impossibility of the economic system and the future Bolsonaro government to generate the necessary jobs for the economically active population and eliminate the precariousness of the work imposed by the neoliberal economic model in force since 1990. How to make the Brazilian economic system and the future government to generate the necessary jobs for the economically active population and how to eliminate the precariousness of the work imposed by the neoliberal economic model? The answer to these two questions is presented in this article.
The plundering on the public coffers by the powers of the republic commit the...Fernando Alcoforado
While Brazil is experiencing the greatest crisis in its history, a number of privileges in the Executive, Legislative and Judiciary powers remain unchanged. These privileges translate into salary readjustments above the inflation indexes, remunerations that exceed R$ 100,000 per month, housing assistance for those who have their own home and payment of school for their children. The Brazilian public sector maintains privileges and a bloated structure even in the face of the greatest fiscal crisis in the history of Brazil. The numbers presented in the paragraphs below that demonstrate the plundering of public coffers by the powers of the Republic in Brazil are presented in the magazine Exame, Edition 1,143 of 2/8/2017 in the article Sobrou para você. De novo (It was left for you. Again) from Flávia Furlan and Luciano Pádua.
How brazil must face global recession and internal economic stagnationFernando Alcoforado
This article aims to present the impacts that the ongoing global recession will have on the Brazilian economy and the solutions to deal with this gigantic problem and the internal economic stagnation.
Brazil is clearly in a recession that was engendered by a series of economic policy mistakes made by the neoliberal governments that followed from 1990 up to the present moment, and also by the passive attitude of the incompetent Michel Temer government that does not adopt any effective measure that is Capable of avoiding Brazil's journey towards economic depression.
The dilma rousseff government and banks united against brazilian peopleFernando Alcoforado
Dilma Rousseff government is committed towards making the fiscal adjustment he proposes be taken forward to ensure the realization of the so-called primary surplus that does not represent nothing less than the payment guarantee by the federal government's of debt service public that benefits mainly the financial system, particularly banks. To achieve this goal, the Brazilian government presented the proposal to cut more than R$ 70 billion in its spending, including social programs. An economy of this magnitude will aggravate the recession that hit Brazil at the time and that will lead to GDP decline of 1.2% in 2016. The proposal of Dilma Rousseff government contains an "evil package" against the workers and the Brazilian people in general by restricting the granting of unemployment insurance, the salary bonus and pension for death and disease and a "goodness package" for the benefit of the financial sector with the guarantee of payment of the public debt and of the employer sector in general with exemptions.
HOW THE LULA GOVERNMENT CAN REBUILD THE DEVASTATED BRAZILIAN ECONOMY.pdfFaga1939
This article aims to show how the Lula government will be able to rebuild the Brazilian economy that has been in economic decline since 1980. The economic decline in Brazil resulted from the adoption of the neoliberal economic model since 1990, from the adoption of the spending ceiling in the federal government budget by the Michel Temer government and maintained by the Bolsonaro government and the growing commitment of the federal government's budget to the payment of the public debt that are making the Brazilian State's action as an agent for the promotion of national development unfeasible. This article aims to demonstrate that the Lula government needs to adopt three strategies aimed at rebuilding the Brazilian economy: 1) Abandon the neoliberal economic model with its replacement by the developmentalist national economic model to promote economic growth and reduce unemployment; 2) Abandon the public spending ceiling policy existing in Brazil to unfreeze them in order not to impede the federal government's action in promoting public investments; and, 3) Renegotiate with public debt creditors the extension of the public debt payment period for the federal government to have resources for investments. If everything continues as it is with the maintenance of the neoliberal economic model, the public spending ceiling and the expansion of the public debt will constitute impeding factors to the country's economic and social progress. Without the adoption of these strategies, the Lula government will be prevented from promoting economic growth in Brazil and fighting the recession with the adoption of compensatory measures from the macroeconomic point of view.
THE MODEL OF ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT BRAZIL NEEDSFernando Alcoforado
This article aims to demonstrate the need for the Brazilian people to reject, in the next elections, all candidates for the Presidency of the Republic, the State governments and the state and national parliament who seek to maintain the neoliberal economic model that, since 1990, has been compromising the economic and social development of the country, given that he is the main responsible for leading Brazil to economic bankruptcy and social devastation today. Neoliberal economic globalization began in the 1990s when the neoliberal economic model was imposed on the world and largely benefited big capital, imposed restrictive limits on the action of the national state, sacrificed local production in favor of imported products, privatized assets of the public sector that were sold at degrading prices and decimated labor rights. In Brazil, the neoliberal economic model was adopted as an alternative to the national developmentalist economic model inaugurated with the 1930 Revolution by the Getúlio Vargas government, which came to a melancholy end in the Ernesto Geisel government in 1979 with the bankruptcy of the Brazilian State and the stagnation of the Brazilian economy in the 1980s. The neoliberal economic model implemented in the 1990s further worsened Brazil's economic and social outlook by contributing to the weakening of the state's role in the economy and providing greater opening of the national market to foreign capital. The events that took place from 1930 to the present show that the national developmentalist model failed in Brazil because its development process was not sustainable, but the neoliberalism that replaced it failed even more by dismantling the Brazilian economy from 1990 to the present, making it extremely dependent on foreigners capital and contribute to producing the greatest social devastation ever recorded in the country.
This article aims to demonstrate the urgency in the invention of a new Brazil to overcome its secular structural problems and the conjunctural problems related to the political, economic, public management and health crises that compromise the country's future.
THE OBSTACLES THAT IMPEDE THE DEVELOPMENT OF BRAZIL IN THE CONTEMPORARY ERA A...Faga1939
This article aims to demonstrate that the Lula government is faced with two major challenges in its effort to promote Brazil's economic and social development. The first challenge, of an economic nature, is represented by the obstacles that exist with the spending cap policy, despite the flexibility provided by the fiscal framework and the existence of an independent Central Bank, which make the Brazilian government unable to coordinate its fiscal and monetary policies, make public investments in the expansion of the economy and obtain macroeconomic stability and, the second challenge, of a political nature, is represented by the obstacles existing in the National Congress due to the fact that it does not have a majority in parliament, which prevents the federal government from putting its national developmental project into practice and fully meet social demands. For Brazil's progressive forces to re-elect President Lula in the 2026 presidential elections and obtain a parliamentary majority in the National Congress committed to political, economic and social advances, the Lula government will have to be successful on the economic front, promoting the expansion of the economy, increasing significantly generating jobs and income, keeping inflation under control and meeting the maximum social demands that benefit, above all, the country's underserved populations. Brazil's progressive forces need to commit, starting from the 2024 municipal elections, towards to elect the maximum number of mayors and councilors committed to Brazil's political, economic and social advances. These are the conditions to prevent, in 2026, right-wing extremists from regaining the Presidency of the Republic, expanding their participation in state governments and the National Congress and putting their nefarious anti-social and anti-national project into practice.
Este artigo tem por objetivo demonstrar que o povo brasileiro vive o inferno representado pelas catástrofes políticas, econômicas, sociais e ambientais que estão conduzindo o País a um desastre humanitário sem precedentes em sua história de gigantescas proporções. A catástrofe política no Brasil poderá ocorrer com o fim do processo democrático resultante da escalada do fascismo na sociedade pela ação do presidente Jair Bolsonaro que busca colocar em prática sua proposta de governo tipicamente fascista baseada no culto explícito da ordem, na violência de Estado, em práticas autoritárias de governo, no desprezo social por grupos vulneráveis e fragilizados e no anticomunismo. Soma-se à catástrofe política, a catástrofe econômica caracterizada pela estagnação da economia brasileira que amarga uma recessão em 2020 agravada pela pandemia do novo coronavirus porque o PIB caiu 4,1% em relação ao de 2019, a menor taxa da série histórica, iniciada em 1996, bem como com a taxa de desemprego em patamar recorde de 14,8 milhões de pessoas em busca de emprego no País. A catástrofe social se manifesta no fato de o governo Bolsonaro nada fazer para reduzir as taxas de desemprego reativando a economia, atuar em prejuízo dos interesses dos trabalhadores promovendo medidas contra os direitos sociais da população e contribuir para o número elevado de infectados e mortos pelo coronavirus no Brasil ao sabotar o combate ao vírus. Finalmente, a catástrofe ambiental se manifesta no fato de o governo Bolsonaro contribuir para a inação de órgãos governamentais responsáveis pela fiscalização contra as agressões ao meio ambiente, abrir caminho para atividades de mineração, agricultura, pecuária e madeireira na Floresta Amazônica e afastar o Brasil do Acordo do Clima de Paris.
Cet article vise à démontrer que le peuple brésilien vit l'enfer représenté par les catastrophes politiques, économiques, sociales et environnementales qui conduisent le pays à une catastrophe humanitaire sans précédent dans son histoire aux proportions gigantesques. La catastrophe politique au Brésil pourrait survenir avec la fin du processus démocratique résultant de l'escalade du fascisme dans la société par l'action du président Jair Bolsonaro, qui cherche à mettre en pratique sa proposition de gouvernement typiquement fasciste. fondée sur le culte explicite de l'ordre, la violence d'État, les pratiques gouvernementales autoritaires, le mépris social pour les groupes vulnérables et fragiles et l'anticommunisme. Outre la catastrophe politique, la catastrophe économique caractérisée par la stagnation de l'économie brésilienne après une récession en 2020, aggravée par la nouvelle pandémie de coronavirus, car le PIB a baissé de 4,1% par rapport à 2019, le taux le plus bas du série historique, commencée en 1996, ainsi qu'avec le taux de chômage à un niveau record de 14,8 millions de personnes à la recherche d'un emploi dans le pays.La catastrophe sociale se manifeste par le fait que le gouvernement Bolsonaro ne fait rien pour réduire les taux de chômage en réactivant la économique, agissant au détriment des intérêts des travailleurs, promouvant des mesures contre les droits sociaux de la population et contribuant au nombre élevé de personnes infectées et tuées par le coronavirus au Brésil en sabotant la lutte contre le virus. Enfin, la catastrophe environnementale se manifeste par le fait que le gouvernement Bolsonaro contribue à l'inaction des agences gouvernementales chargées de surveiller les agressions contre l'environnement, ouvrant la voie aux activités minières, agricoles, d'élevage et d'exploitation forestière dans la forêt amazonienne et retirant le Brésil de l'Accord de Paris sur le climat.
Cet article a pour objectif de présenter et d'analyser le rapport du Groupe d'experts intergouvernemental sur l'évolution du climat (GIEC), agence liée à l'ONU, rendu public le 9 août 2021 à travers lequel il montre l'ensemble des connaissances acquises depuis la publication de son précédent rapport en 2014 sur le climat de la planète Terre. 234 auteurs de 66 pays ont examiné plus de 14 000 études scientifiques et leur travail a été reçu avec plus de 78 000 commentaires et observations de chercheurs et d'experts qui travaillant pour les 195 gouvernements auxquels ce travail est destiné. Ce rapport révèle une connaissance approfondie du climat passé, présent et futur de la Terre. Le résumé de ce rapport est à lire dans l'article Selon le GIEC, le changement climatique est irréversible, mais peut encore être corrigé disponible sur le site <https://www.sciencesetavenir.fr/nature-environnement/climat/selon-le-giec-le-changement-climatique-s-accelere-est-irreversible-mais-peut-etre-corrige_156431>. Alors que peut-on faire pour éviter cette catastrophe climatique ? La solution est de réduire de moitié les émissions mondiales de gaz à effet de serre d'ici 2030 et de zéro émission nette d'ici le milieu de ce siècle pour arrêter et éventuellement inverser la hausse des températures. La réduction à zéro des émissions nettes consiste à réduire autant que possible les émissions de gaz à effet de serre en utilisant les technologies propres et les énergies renouvelables, ainsi que comme capter et stocker le carbone, ou l'absorber en plantant des arbres. Très probablement, le monde ne réussira pas à empêcher d'autres changements climatiques en raison de l'absence d'un système de gouvernance mondiale capable d'empêcher l'augmentation du réchauffement climatique et le changement climatique catastrophique résultant de l'impuissance de l'ONU.
AQUECIMENTO GLOBAL, MUDANÇA CLIMÁTICA GLOBAL E SEUS IMPACTOS SOBRE A SAÚDE HU...Fernando Alcoforado
Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar os impactos do aquecimento global e da consequente mudança climática sobre a saúde humana e as soluções que permitam evitar suas maléficas consequências contra a humanidade. Para alcançar este objetivo, é necessário promover uma transformação profunda da sociedade atual que tem sido extremamente destruidora das condições de vida do planeta. Diante disso, é imprescindível que seja edificada uma sociedade sustentável substituindo o atual modelo econômico dominante em todo o mundo por outro que leve em conta o homem integrado com o meio ambiente, com a natureza, ou seja, o modelo de desenvolvimento sustentável. Foi analisado o Acordo de Paris com base na COP 21 organizada pela ONU através do qual 195 países e a União Europeia definiram como a humanidade lutará contra o aquecimento global nas próximas décadas, bem como foi analisada literatura relacionada com o aquecimento global e a mudança climática para extrair as conclusões que apontam como substituir o modelo de desenvolvimento atual pelo modelo de desenvolvimento sustentável.
GLOBAL WARMING, GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE AND ITS IMPACTS ON HUMAN HEALTHFernando Alcoforado
This article aims to present the impacts of global warming and the consequent global climate change on human health and the solutions to avoid its harmful consequences against humanity. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to promote a profound transformation of current society, which has been extremely destructive of the planet's living conditions. Therefore, it is essential to build a sustainable society, replacing the current dominant economic model throughout the world with one that takes into account man integrated with the environment, with nature, that is, the model of sustainable development. The Paris Agreement was analyzed based on the COP 21 organized by the UN through which 195 countries and the European Union defined how humanity will fight global warming in the coming decades, as well as was analyzed literature related to global warming and climate change to extract the conclusions that point out how to replace the current development model with the sustainable development model.

Cet article a pour objectif de présenter les impacts du réchauffement climatique et du changement climatique qui en découle sur la santé humaine et les solutions pour éviter ses conséquences néfastes contre l'humanité. Pour atteindre cet objectif, il est nécessaire de promouvoir une transformation profonde de la société d'aujourd'hui qui a été extrêmement destructrice des conditions de vie sur la planète. Il est donc essentiel de construire une société durable, en remplaçant le modèle économique actuel dominant à travers le monde par un autre qui prenne en compte l'homme intégré à l'environnement, à la nature, c'est-à-dire le modèle de développement durable. L'Accord de Paris a été analysé sur la base de la COP 21 organisée par l'ONU à travers laquelle 195 pays et l'Union européenne ont défini comment l'humanité luttera contre le réchauffement climatique dans les prochaines décennies, ainsi que a été analysée la littérature liée au réchauffement climatique et au changement climatique pour extraire les conclusions qui indiquent comment remplacer le modèle de développement actuel par le modèle de développement durable.
Cet article a trois objectifs : 1) démontrer qu'il y a un changement drastique du climat de la Terre grâce au réchauffement climatique, qui contribue à la survenue d'inondations dans les villes aux effets de plus en plus catastrophiques ; 2) proposer des mesures pour lutter contre le changement climatique mondial ; et 3) proposer des mesures pour préparer les villes à faire face à des événements météorologiques extrêmes. Récemment, des inondations se sont produites qui exposent la vulnérabilité des villes d'Europe et de Chine aux conditions météorologiques les plus extrêmes. Après les inondations qui ont fait des morts en Allemagne, en Belgique et en Chine, le message a été renforcé que des changements importants sont nécessaires pour préparer les villes à faire face à des événements similaires à l'avenir. Les gouvernements doivent admettre que les infrastructures qu'ils ont construites dans le passé pour les villes, même à une époque plus récente, sont vulnérables à ces phénomènes météorologiques extrêmes. Pour faire face aux inondations qui deviendront de plus en plus fréquentes, les gouvernements doivent agir simultanément dans trois directions : la première est de lutter contre le changement climatique mondial ; le second est de préparer les villes à faire face à des événements météorologiques extrêmes et le troisième est de mettre en œuvre une société durable aux niveaux national et mondial.
This article has three objectives: 1) to demonstrate that there is a drastic change in the Earth's climate thanks to global warming, which is contributing to the occurrence of floods in cities that are increasingly catastrophic in their effects; 2) propose measures to combat global climate change; and 3) propose measures to prepare cities to face extreme weather events. Recently, floods have occurred that expose the vulnerability of cities in Europe and China to the most extreme weather. After the floods that killed people in Germany, Belgium and China, the message was reinforced that significant changes are needed to prepare cities to face similar events in the future. Governments need to admit that the infrastructure they built in the past for cities, even in more recent times, is vulnerable to these extreme weather events. To deal with the floods that will become more and more frequent, governments need to act simultaneously in three directions: the first is to combat global climate change; the second is to prepare cities to face extreme weather events and the third is to implement a sustainable society at the national and global levels.

Recentemente, ocorreram enchentes que expõem a vulnerabilidade das cidades da Europa e da China ao clima mais extremo. Depois das enchentes que mataram pessoas na Alemanha, Bélgica e China foi reforçada a mensagem de que são necessárias mudanças significativas para preparar as cidades para enfrentar eventos similares no futuro. Os governos precisam admitir que a infraestrutura que construíram no passado para as cidades, mesmo em tempos mais recentes, é vulnerável a esses eventos de clima extremo. Para lidar com as inundações que serão cada vez mais frequentes, os governos precisam agir simultaneamente em três direções: a primeira consiste em combater a mudança climática global; a segunda consiste em preparar as cidades para enfrentar eventos extremos no clima e a terceira consiste em implantar uma sociedade sustentável nas esferas nacional e global.

É preciso observar que a Civilização é considerada o estágio mais avançado que uma sociedade humana pode alcançar do ponto de vista político, econômico, social, cultural, científico e tecnológico. O contrário de civilização é a Barbárie que é a condição daquilo que é selvagem, cruel, desumano e grosseiro, ou seja, quem ou o que é tido como bárbaro que atenta contra o progresso político, econômico, social, cultural, científico e tecnológico. A barbárie sempre se caracterizou ao longo da história da humanidade por grupos que usam a força e a crueldade para alcançar seus objetivos.

É bastante evidente o descalabro do setor elétrico do Brasil. O planejamento eficaz do setor elétrico é aquele que deve ser desenvolvido com vários anos de antecedência e baseado em estudos técnicos e econômicos. A gestão competente tem que ser baseada no planejamento de longo prazo e com visão sistêmica que está faltando ao governo Bolsonaro. Sem a cultura do planejamento e a não utilização de profissionais competentes nas ações do governo federal, o resultado só poderia ser o que vem se registrando no setor elétrico que está ameaçado de “apagões” e de racionamento de energia elétrica.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.
Neoliberalism and aggravation of social problems in brazil
1. 1
NEOLIBERALISM AND AGGRAVATION OF SOCIAL PROBLEMS IN
BRAZIL
Fernando Alcoforado*
The neoliberal economic model implemented in 1990 is largely responsible for worsening
Brazil's social problems today. Social devastation has been the main result of the
neoliberal economic model in Brazil inaugurated by President Fernando Collor in 1990
and maintained by Presidents Itamar Franco, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Lula da Silva,
Dilma Roussef, Michel Temer and Jair Bolsonaro. The current economic recession, social
inequality, mass unemployment and the extreme poverty of the country demonstrate the
infeasibility of the neoliberal model implemented in Brazil. The social devastation
suffered by Brazil with social inequality, mass unemployment and extreme poverty is
demonstrated through indicators of concentration of income, unemployment, social
inequality and extreme poverty.
Brazil has the second highest concentration of income in the world, according to the
Human Development (HDR) report of the United Nations (UN) published in December
2019. Brazil is only behind Qatar, when analyzed the richest 1%. In Brazil, the richest
1% concentrates 28.3% of the country's total income (in Qatar this proportion is 29%).
That is, in Brazil almost a third of the income is in the hands of the wealthiest. The richest
10% in Brazil, on the other hand, account for 41.9% of the total income. Brazil is the
country with the highest concentration of income when compared to the countries in the
group of developing countries of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South
Africa). India appears in the ranking with 21.3% of the total income in the hands of the
richest 1%. Russia has 20.2% and South Africa leaves 19.2% of its total income with the
richest 1%. Meanwhile, China is the country of the BRICS with the lowest concentration,
in this sense, with 13.9%.
Comparative research led by Thomas Piketty, author of The Capital in the 21st century
published in 2014, points out that 27.8% of the national wealth is in few hands in Brazil.
Almost 30% of Brazil's income is in the hands of just 1% of the country's inhabitants, the
highest concentration of its kind in the world. This is what the 2018 World Inequality
Survey indicates, coordinated, among others, by the French economist Thomas Piketty.
The group, composed of hundreds of scholars, provides a database that allows comparing
the evolution of income inequality in the world in recent years. The World Wealth &
Income Database points out that the richest 1% of Brazil held 27.8% of the country's
income in 2015.
According to the data collected by Piketty's group, Brazilian millionaires were ahead of
millionaires in the Middle East, who account for 26.3% of the region's income. Brazil
also stands out in the cut of the richest 10%, but not as intensely as is observed when
comparing the richest 1%. The data shows the Middle East with 61% of income in the
hands of its richest 10%, followed by Brazil and India, both with 55%, and Sub-Saharan
Africa, with 54%. The region where the richest 10% hold the smallest share of wealth is
Europe, with 37%.
The European continent is considered by researchers as an example to be followed in the
fight against inequality, since the evolution of disparities in the region was the least
among the indicators since 1980 that is due to the social democratic policies adopted by
2. 2
several governments. To solve the problem of social inequality, the researchers propose,
in general, the implementation of progressive taxation regimes and the increase of
inheritance taxes, in addition to more rigidity in the control of tax evasion. The
researchers also highlight the importance of public investment in areas such as education,
health and environmental protection.
Since the 1980s, large transfers from public to private equity have occurred in almost
every country, rich or emerging, which has grown worldwide with the adoption by
governments of neoliberal policies. In several countries, including Brazil, national wealth
has increased substantially with the expansion of private equity and the reduction of
public equity, says the survey. According to the authors, the reduction of public assets
obviously limits the ability of governments to combat inequality. Figure 1 below shows
Brazil with the highest concentration of income among all the countries surveyed, in light
green.

In addition to presenting the worst indicators of social inequality in the world,
unemployment rates in Brazil are at extremely high levels (12.8 million unemployed)
with the prospect of remaining at high levels in 2020, 2021 and 2022, according to ILO.
The data are part of a survey carried out by the International Labor Organization that does
not foresee any improvement in the situation. In absolute terms, the ILO indicates that
2019 ended with 12.8 million unemployed in Brazil. In 2020, the forecasted number
3. 3
remains at the same level and drops to 12.7 million in 2021. Between 2022 and 2024, the
total remains between 12.5 million and 12.6 million. Therefore, the ILO does not see
anything important to allow the unemployment rate in Brazil to return to what existed in
2014.
In addition to the indicators of social inequality and unemployment, extreme poverty in
Brazil already totals 13.5 million people. The group of poor people in Brazil survives on
R$ 145 (US$ 33.02) per month. The number of poor people in Brazil is greater than the
population of Bolivia, according to the IBGE. The number of poor people has been
growing since 2015, reversing the downward curve of poverty in previous years. Since
2014, 4.5 million people have fallen into extreme poverty, living in miserable conditions.
The contingent is a record in seven years of the historical series of the Brazilian Institute
of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). The rise in unemployment and the drastic reduction
of resources for social programs and to Bolsa Família program widen the gap of the
poorest.
Poverty mainly affects states in the North and Northeast of Brazil, especially the black
and brown population, with no education or incomplete basic education. The growth of
extreme poverty coincides with the beginning of the recession that began in 2014 and
continues in Brazil thanks to the inaction of the Bolsonaro government. An IBGE data,
however, draws attention. Of the 13.5 million poor, 13.6% had some occupation, albeit
informal, with less than 40 hours of work per week. The way out of this population's
misery depends, among other measures, on the reactivation of the economy so that they
can enter the labor market and have an income that takes them out of extreme poverty
and the access that people have to social programs.
To have access to social programs, the government will have to invest an additional R $
1 billion per month to serve Brazilians in conditions of extreme poverty that will hardly
occur because the government of Jair Bolsonaro is focused on deepening fiscal
adjustment, and on the idea of reducing the role of the State, according to the neoliberal
model that has been embraced by the country since the government of Fernando Collor
in 1990. In addition to this, the government's social insensitivity to the country's serious
social problems.
To combat social inequalities, unemployment and the extreme poverty of the population,
the federal government should assume the reins of the national economy, abandoning the
failed neoliberal economic model to reactivate the Brazilian economy and full
employment with the immediate implementation of a wide public infrastructure works
program (energy, transport, housing, basic sanitation, etc.) with the participation of the
private sector to combat current mass unemployment by raising employment and income
levels for families and businesses to, consequently, promote the expansion of
consumption by families and companies resulting, respectively, from the increase in the
wage bill of families and the income of companies with investments in public works to
make Brazil grow economically again.
In addition, the federal government should adopt the immediate audit of the public debt
followed by renegotiation with the extension of time of the payment of interest on the
country's public internal debt, aiming at reducing government charges with the payment
of the public debt to increase public savings for investment, promote the increase in public
revenue with the taxation of large fortunes, dividends from individuals and banks and the
4. 4
elimination of superfluous expenses in all the powers of the Republic with the reduction
of public agencies and commissioned personnel. These measures would contribute to the
federal government having the resources to reactivate the economy and strengthen social
programs to combat social inequalities and extreme poverty.
Given the prospect of worsening social inequalities, unemployment and extreme poverty
in Brazil, what would be the solution to mitigate these problems within the framework of
capitalism, in addition to the effort to reactivate the economy? The solution would consist
of the adoption by the federal government of public policies aimed at the development of
the social and solidarity economy to alleviate unemployment and the reinforcement in the
implementation of basic income or minimum universal income to alleviate poverty with
the Bolsa Família Program.
In their book L´économie sociale et solidaire (Paris: Presses Universitaires de France,
2016), Géraldine Lacroix and Romain Slitine affirms that the Social and Solidarity
Economy is one of the solutions to alleviate the problem of unemployment and to open
the way to invent in the future other ways of producing and consuming contributing to
greater social cohesion. According to Lacroix and Slitine, the Social and Solidarity
Economy offers answers to numerous questions in contemporary society. This book
contains information that the social and solidarity economy corresponds to 10% of GDP
and is responsible for 12.7% of employment in France. In Brazil, the social and solidarity
economy represents 1% of GDP [REDE BRASIL ATUAL. Com autogestão, economia
solidária já representa 1% do PIB no Brasil (With self-management, the solidarity
economy already represents 1% of GDP in Brazil). Available on the website
<http://www.redebrasilatual.com.br/economia/2015/08/economia-solidaria-ja-
representa-1-do-pib-no-brasil-3696.html, 2015>].
The Social and Solidarity Economy is a new model of economic, social, political and
environmental development that has a different way of generating work and income, in
different sectors, whether in community banks, credit unions, family farming
cooperatives, fair trade issue, in exchange clubs, etc. The Social and Solidarity Economy
constitutes a new way of organizing work and economic activities in general, emerging
as an important alternative for the inclusion of workers in the labor market, giving them
a new opportunity through self-management. Based on the Social and Solidarity
Economy, there is the possibility of recovering bankrupt companies, and to continue
them, with a new mode of production, in which the maximization of profit is no longer
the main objective, giving rise to the maximization of the quantity and the quality of work.
It can be said that the adoption of the Social and Solidarity Economy is, without a doubt,
the solution that would allow, within the framework of capitalism, to face mass
unemployment that tends to grow in a dizzying way in the future with the replacement of
skilled workers and not qualified by robots in the labor market. This is an important
alternative for the inclusion of workers in the labor market, giving them a new opportunity
to work with a new mode of production in which profit is no longer the main goal. The
adoption of the basic income policy or universal minimum income for the poor population
is one of the solutions to alleviate poverty as it would allow the poor to start having money
to meet their basic needs in terms of food, health, housing, etc.
In turn, the basic income policy or universal minimum income for the population is one
of the solutions to alleviate poverty. This idea is not new. Friedrich August von Hayek,
5. 5
Austrian economist and philosopher, later naturalized British, considered one of the
greatest representatives of the Austrian School of economic thought, was the proponent
of this idea when he published between 1973 and 1979 his work Law, Legislation and
Liberty (Routledge, 1988). The neoliberal income transfer program of the Lula and Dilma
Rousseff governments in Brazil, Bolsa Família, is an example of the application of
Hayek's basic income policy.
The book Utopia for Realists by Rutger Bregman (London, New York: Bloomsbury
Paperbacks, 2017) shows that giving free money to everyone, that is, a universal
minimum income program would make it possible to alleviate or eliminate poverty.
Among the reasons he points out for this idea to become reality, lies in the fact that
distributing money reduces crime, improves the health of the population and allows
everyone to invest in themselves. More than that, a universal minimum income program
builds social peace and alleviates political violence that would feed on social inequalities,
mass unemployment and extreme poverty to become a social revolution.
Bregman defends the utopia of money for everyone and not just for the poor. In the book,
Bregman cites a number of successful examples of how homeless people, Indians and
populations in vulnerable regions developed when they started to receive money without
being asked for anything in return. For him, it will be better with less bureaucracy and the
establishment of requirements. The basic income program should be universal when it is
expanded to the rich and the middle class, so that it becomes a right of all citizens, not a
favor, says Bregman.
The basic income policy for the poor population would bring numerous advantages not
only related to the decrease in crime, improvement of the population's health and
improvement of the poor people's housing conditions, but also the increase in the
consumption of goods and services by the poor population. The government, the provider
of basic income for the poor, would benefit from lower spending on police repression and
the prison structure as a result of reduced crime and homelessness and increased tax
collection resulting from increased consumption by the poor population. There will be no
social peace in Brazil if the policies of social and solidarity economy and basic income
are not adopted for the poor population.
It is not necessary to demonstrate that the measures proposed here can only be adopted
by a government in Brazil diametrically opposed to that of Jair Bolsonaro.
