Abstract

Krasilshchikov critically evaluates the social policy achievements under the Left-centrist governments, using Brazilian household statistics. These achievements have been moderate; they consisted mainly of an eradication of extreme poverty, the transformation of the very poor into ‘ordinary poor’. The author supports this assertion through tables composed of household income and expenditure. He concludes that the positive social changes (reduction of poverty, decrease of income inequality, etc.) have been insufficient to give rise to a ‘crucial mass’ of labourers capable of becoming the actors of ‘new development’ or stimulating, by their wages, entrepreneurs to create innovations. In addition, as noted in the chapter, mass education in Brazil is of a poor quality, the efforts of the Left-centrist governments to change this situation notwithstanding.
