Chapter Chapter 5 in Social Policy Dismantling and De-democratization in Brazil, 2023, pp 105-132 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The chapter discusses the dismantling of Brazilian social security, debating the reform processes that shaped public pensions and paved the way for the advancement of private pensions in Brazil. It presents a double explanatory hypothesis: firstly, it takes into account the ambiguities that surround the historical approach to social security in Brazil, distancing it from a solidary conception, and weakening popular resistance to the dismantling. Secondly, it argues that successive pension reforms have been functional in the advancement of the financialization of the economy. Both hypotheses converge to a reflection on how the dismantling of social policies built a cyclical mechanism that links social security, public money, and financialization, leading to reforms that openly favor rentier accumulation.
