Limits of Democracy

Más información sobre el libro

The book delves into the election of Jair Bolsonaro, examining its social and political roots within Brazil's context. It portrays Bolsonaro's rise as a reactionary response to the democratic aspirations ignited by the 2013 uprisings, which protested a failing political system. The author, Marcos Nobre, connects this phenomenon to the broader global surge of far-right movements that threaten democracy, highlighting the challenges faced by democratic ideals in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis and the limitations of the neoliberal consensus.
