Ortodoxia à brasileira: a recessão de 2014-2016 e as medidas de recuperação econômica

Abstract

The final paper aims to present the oscillation of Brazilian economic indicators during the last decade, between the first administration of President Dilma and the administration of President Temer, and it also discuss the success or failure of reformist policies instituted from May 2016. In addition, the final paper discusses the programmatic tendencies of each administration, sometimes more orthodox, sometimes more heterodox. The trajectory of the indicators is presented from minutes, bulletins and conjuncture letters from official institutions that unravel the oscillations of the Brazilian economy in the last decade. On the other hand, booklets of the think tanks from each political niche exemplify the economic policy that, theoretically, would guide the administrations discussed. Despite being modest, there was a certain reversal of the negative trajectory of the indicators and some recovery of macroeconomic stability. However, some indicators remained rigid. As for the recognition of orthodox and heterodox features in each administration, both have preserved the commitment with pillars of consensus in the academic debate, although the administration of President Dilma showed greater leniency and the administration of President Temer showed greater rigidity with the orthodox agenda adopted.
