Chapter Chapter 8 in Brazil - Emerging Forever?, 2022, pp 167-191 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The author observes the debates among Brazilian sociologists around the growth of a new middle class in Brazil. In reality, it was the growth of a new working class employed mostly in the service sector with low wages and precarious employment. The author explains why the conservative financial-economic policy of the former Left-centrist governments corresponded to the interests of poor social groups that made up the mass base of those governments. In this connection, the phenomenon of coincidence between conservatisms of the poor and rich is the focus of the chapter. Finally, Krasilshchikov scrutinises the problem of effectiveness in social expenditure. He underlines that the old approaches to this issue should be reconsidered according to the role of households in formation of human capital.
