Freud - life and work

Argelina Figueiredo addresses a crucial issue: the tension between democracy and social change. She uses as an example the government of João Goulart (1961-1964), when a clash between forces in favor of and against "basic reforms" undermined the country's democratic institutions. She proposes unusual explanations for the military coup and discusses possible alternatives that could have occurred in place of the drastic outcome achieved by the coup.
