Desigualdade de renda, desemprego e pobreza nas regiões metropolitanas do Brasil: uma perspectiva heterodoxa
(Associação Keynesiana Brasileira, 2019) CARVALHO, André Cutrim; CARVALHO, David Ferreira; RODRIGUES, Phelipe da Silva
The present paper aims to deal with the theoretical and empirical view of the evolution of income inequality, unemployment and poverty in the Brazilian metropolitan regions from 2001 to 2011. For this purpose, it is necessary to recover the theoretical framework from the theories of John Maynard Keynes and even Hyman Philip Minsky. The main conclusion is that the social diagnosis, during this period, showed an impressive reduction in income inequality and poverty. In this way, it can be seen that the reduction of income inequalities are extremely important parameters for the expansion of the national domestic market. On the other hand, family income transfer programs, such as “Bolsa Família”, have contributed to the reduction of absolute poverty. Last, but not least, the results obtained through social indicators could attest to this fact.

The performance of the brazilian economy: the development of inflation, growth and unemployment
(Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, 2019) CARVALHO, André Cutrim; CARVALHO, David Ferreira
In Brazil, as in most countries, government strategies have sought to encourage economic growth so as to reduce unemployment and maintain price stability as a deterrent to distributive conflict and rigid inflation, a historically difficult problem to solve in this country. Within this context, the fundamental objective of this article is to discuss the macroeconomic performance of the Brazilian economy during the period between the military dictatorship and the new republic, particularly in relation to inflation, economic growth and unemployment. The main conclusion is that Brazil urgently needs to improve its current economic performance. The federal government must therefore foster public and private investment so that all sectors of the economy may break with the current recession. It must also strengthen mechanisms to control inflation and reduce the risk factor and uncertainty for investors so that they are encouraged to hire labor. This will reduce unemployment and improve the outreach of social protection systems for low-income families. More expressly, it will generate opportunities for the improvement and specialization of certain productive activities so that the country is able to create skilled labor, thereby increasing income and stimulating consumption amongst these future workers.
