Fiscal Justice in Brazil
The purpose of this paper is to clarify the debate around the importance of fiscal justice in the promotion of equity and possible pathways to achieve it. To that end, the study included an analysis of the Brazilian tax system and of the existing literature on its distributive role and its efficiency. The findings point to inefficient taxation that is still very unequal, but with clear room for improvement. To increase efficiency and promote economic growth, we propose a change in the taxation of goods and services through the creation of a value-added tax (VAT) and changes in payroll so as to make it tax-exempt. Five pathways are suggested to improve fiscal injustice: a reduction of indirect taxation; changes to the rates and thresholds for personal income tax; the reintroduction of taxation of profits and dividends; the institution of a tax on large fortunes; and an increase in social spending. The current fiscal and economic crisis in Brazil points to the need for fiscal reform under these terms to ensure both efficiency and equity.
Women, Gender and Conditional Cash Transfers
Conditional Cash Transfer Programs have been widely used throughout less developed countries to fight poverty and foster socioeconomic development. In Women, Gender and Conditional Cash Transfers, a multidisciplinary group of feminist scholars use survey data analysis, in-depth interviews, and ethnographic and archival research to explore the extent to which Bolsa Familia in Brazil contributes to women ́s autonomy and improves gender relations. Comprised of nine chapters, written by authors from different regions of Brazil, this book captures perspectives from across Brazil to explain these regional social inequalities and provide historical, and up-to-date, insights of this program from a ...
Latin American Social Policy Developments in the Twenty-First Century
This book explores the scope of reforms and changes in the social protection systems in Latin America that have started at the beginning of the 21st century. It describes how and to what extent changes in social protection systems and social policies have occurred in the region in recent decades. Taking a comparative approach, the volume identifies the triggers for the transformations and how such pressures are received by the welfare regime, or a specific policy sector, to finally yield a given type of reform. The analysis is characterized by the presence of certain factors that explain the development of social protection systems in Latin America, such as economic growth, the consolidation of democratic political regimes, and the region’s Left Turns. The book also examines to what extent common challenges and processes induced by international institutions have led to convergence among countries or welfare regimes, or whether each maintains its own identity.

Economia Pós-Pandemia
Este livro é a antítese da agenda econômica dominante no Brasil. Professores e pesquisadores revelam como a agenda da austeridade é anacrônica ao negar o papel da política fiscal como indutora do crescimento e do emprego e é cruel ao propor sacrificar as garantias constitucionais do financiamento dos direitos sociais. Seus capítulos denunciam as consequências sociais dos cortes de gastos e mostram como o discurso da austeridade fiscal é ideológico, falacioso e dogmático. Além disso, o livro aponta para o futuro e propõe uma nova agenda econômica para o país que reafirma os direitos sociais, o papel do Estado no provimento desses direitos e a política fiscal como ferramenta para o crescimento, preservação ambiental, redução das desigualdades sociais, regionais, raciais e de gênero, em direção a um projeto de desenvolvimento transformador da realidade brasileira.
The Routledge Handbook of Portuguese Phonology
The Routledge Handbook of Portuguese Phonology provides an up-to-date description of the Portuguese phonological system, including a thorough account of the fundamental concepts, data, and previous explanations, as well as the status quaestionis, directions for future research, and further reading. Divided into five parts with contributions from leading international scholars and rising stars, the book’s 23 chapters provide a thorough account of the Portuguese sound system and a range of perspectives on Portuguese phonology. This is the most comprehensive volume on Portuguese phonology written in English, and it delves into the most pressing issues and challenges regarding a wide variety of topics, such as segmental and suprasegmental phenomena; aspects concerning the interfaces between phonology and other linguistic domains; and issues on synchronic variation, diachronic change, acquisition, and the teaching of Portuguese speech prosody to non-native learners. This in-depth resource will be invaluable for researchers and advanced students of Portuguese language and linguistics, as well as those interested in phonology and linguistics more broadly.

O direito da mulher após a Reforma Trabalhista
Os direitos trabalhistas estão previstos tanto na CF como na CLT, legislações que combinadas servem como base para dar o devido cumprimento ao princípio constitucional da igualdade, o qual é imprescindível para a efetiva garantia dos direitos arduamente conquistados pelas mulheres nesse âmbito. Ocorre que, diante da alteração da CLT, existe uma enorme incerteza quanto ao real cumprimento de sua finalidade, que é a garantia da proteção aos direitos do trabalhador, principalmente no que se refere às relações de trabalho que envolvam a mulher, pois se sabe que esta possui necessidades inerentes à sua identidade de gênero. Por esse motivo, faz-se importante a análise das mudan...

Autoeducação, práticas formativas e relações de gênero numa Cooperativa de Catadoras/es de Materiais Recicláveis
Resultado de uma rigorosa pesquisa, Autoeducação, práticas formativas e relações de gênero numa Cooperativa de Catadoras/es de Materiais Recicláveis, de Bruna Oliveira Martins, debruça-se sobre a análise de um setor da classe trabalhadora precarizado, em especial, colocando em perspectiva a formação educacional e as relações de gênero. A submissão das mulheres é prática observada desde os tempos mais remotos, em praticamente todas as sociedades, que cumpre uma função socioeconômica. Ao mesmo tempo também se observa a resistência e a luta das mulheres contra a subordinação e pela igualdade. No caso da Cooperativa, por meio de atividades de autoeducação e de práticas formativas, as/os trabalhadoras/es conseguiram refletir sobre as relações de gênero. As mulheres catadoras passaram a se reconhecer como trabalhadoras iguais aos homens e a questionar o acúmulo de funções destinadas a elas, tanto dentro quanto fora do empreendimento. Convido as pessoas interessadas no debate sobre a temática à leitura desta obra, pois se trata de um estudo significativo e relevante, especialmente no atual cenário político brasileiro.
