Os Determinantes da Desaceleração Brasileira (2010-2015): uma Análise de Economia Política

Abstract

This paper aims to make a political economy analysis of the process of slowing growth between the end of Lula’s administration and the beginning of Dilma’s. Based on the hypothesis that such movement was primarily caused by endogenous factors rather than by external conditions, it intends to discuss to what extent the deceleration of the Brazilian economy post-2010 was a result of macroeconomic misconceptions on the part of the government, of a broad capitalist alliance aimed at slowing economic growth, or even of a combination of these two factors.
