Brazil, a society on the move

An analysis of the country in the context of the current economic crisis through 45 articles by national and international researchers. How can Brazil's economic dependence be reconciled with the global technological revolution? How can we avoid the risks of sudden climate change? How can we align Brazilian society's expectations with a world in constant transformation? According to Rosa Freire D'Aguiar, the book is a "full-length portrait of contemporary Brazil, of this 'society in motion' that searches for itself, is indignant, innovates, retreats, and advances. In short, it pursues a better country, capable of reflecting one of Celso Furtado's many assertions about development: a process that combines, in an open society, the 'raising of the material standard of living, social homogenization, and the broadening of the horizon of each individual's aspirations.'"
