The former Finance Minister's life reflects much of the country's recent economy and the transformations in society since the 1940s. His work in the public sphere laid the foundation for many of the Brazilian economy's subsequent adaptations to the global scenario. Maílson da Nóbrega recounts his entire professional experience: the beginning of his career at the age of 20 at Banco do Brasil; his work, in 1977, in the ministries that intervened in the Brazilian economy; his arrival in the 1980s at the Ministry of Finance as Secretary General. During this period, he led the studies that resulted in profound institutional transformations in public finance, including the restructuring of the Central Bank's functions, the creation of the National Treasury Secretariat, and the abolition of the Monetary Budget. Maílson's memoirs, co-authored with Louise Sottomaior and Josué Leonel, cover his time as Finance Minister between January 1988 and March 1990. As he well recalls, this was one of the most difficult periods for the Brazilian economy. Legal and illicit pressures were numerous. During his tenure at the ministry, fundamental steps were taken toward the liberalization of the economy, privatizations, and the modernization of national finances. Little-known facts to the general public are revealed in \"Beyond Rice and Beans.\" Among them, a government summit held when José Sarney was president of the Republic and Maílson was his Finance Minister. The meeting discussed whether Sarney should resign before the end of his term. It also reveals how politics worked at key moments, especially during the transition from military rule to democracy, and how economic, political, and media powers intertwined. \"Maílson da Nóbrega set one of the finest examples of dedication to public life that Brazil can be proud of. Just read this autobiographical book to see that the praise I give him is measured by his achievements.\" Fernando Henrique Cardoso","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159247405308,"sku":"9788520010198","price":89.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/be8c67f123c6ca1057c53d9f5daa7e97.jpg?v=1778314384"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/mailson-da-nobrega.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
