Abstract

Este artigo faz uma avaliação crítica de alguns aspectos do recente debate sobre apolítica fiscal no Brasil. Argumenta que tanto as análises ortodoxas quanto as heterodoxasdo tamanho do déficit fiscal tendem a incorrer em erros conceituais ou factuais que obstruemseriamente uma compreensão adequada das questões envolvidas. A compreensão errônea decertos conceitos básicos e até mesmo a tendência a desconsiderar as informações estatísticasdisponíveis mostram-se algumas das principais causas do caráter inconclusivo das discussõessobre a situação das finanças públicas no Brasil. A Seção I examina as dificuldades conceituaisenvolvidas na aplicação do conceito de requisitos de financiamento do setor públicoconforme definido no programa do FMI para o Brasil. A Seção II discute a validade das estatísticassobre o déficit “operacional” do setor público e a hipótese de que as finanças públicasestão basicamente sob controle. A seção final resume as principais conclusões. Classificação JEL: H62.
