A political analysis of the paradox of modern-day Brazil, charting the political transition from military rule to democracy, and to neoliberalism.

The book explores the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on global neoliberalism, linking it to ongoing economic and political crises, including the Global Financial Crisis and the rise of authoritarianism. Utilizing a Marxist political economy framework, it analyzes the pandemic's causes and potential consequences, drawing on the author's previous research in the field. This critical examination highlights the interconnectedness of health crises and socio-economic systems, providing insights into the future of neoliberalism in a post-pandemic world.

Despite the unprecedented gravity of the challenges posed by global warming, most political systems have not given them the required priority. This book examines the progressive options available to today's developing countries as they face the limitations of neoliberalism and the existential challenge of global warming.
