From Political Economy to Economic Policy: Neo-Developmentalism and the Lula Administration (In Portuguese)
This article critically reviews the design of neo-developmentalist economic policies in Brazil, in the first half of the last decade, and their relationship with the economic policies of the Lula administration after 2006. Paradoxically, the neo-developmentalist policies were implemented jointly with the main (neoliberal) macroeconomic policies which had been introduced earlier. The article reviews the relevant literature, and examines the contradictory nature of this âinflectionâ of economic policy. So far, this combination of policies has achieved an unquestionable â though provisional â success, despite the persistence of the structural macroeconomic problems due to the continuity of the neoliberal policies

NövekedĂ©s, szegĂ©nysĂ©g Ă©s egyenlĆtlensĂ©g
A tanulmĂĄny az utĂłbbi Ă©vekben a növekedĂ©s, szegĂ©nysĂ©g Ă©s egyenlĆtlensĂ©g közötti viszonyrĂłl folytatott gazdasĂĄgpolitikai vitĂĄkat tekinti ĂĄt. E vitĂĄk központi kĂ©rdĂ©se az volt, hogy a szegĂ©nysĂ©g megszĂŒntetĂ©sĂ©hez Ă©s az egyenlĆtlensĂ©gek csökkentĂ©sĂ©hez elegendĆ-e a piac vezĂ©relte növekedĂ©s, vagy sajĂĄtos politikai intĂ©zkedĂ©sekre van szĂŒksĂ©g, mivel a cĂ©l nĂ©lkĂŒli növekedĂ©s elĂ©gtelen, vagy akĂĄr ellentĂ©tes hatĂĄsĂș is lehet. A tanulmĂĄny ismerteti a vitĂĄk eredmĂ©nyeit Ă©s az inkluzĂv növekedĂ©s (IN) paradigma VilĂĄgbankon belĂŒli kialakulĂĄsĂĄt. Az IN kritikus vizsgĂĄlata ahhoz a felismerĂ©shez vezet, hogy kritikĂĄjĂĄnak az a legjobb mĂłdja, ha erĆteljesebben Ășjrafogalmazzuk a gazdasĂĄgpolitika szegĂ©nyeket tĂĄmogatĂł cĂ©ljait
