Mercosur
This collection of essays aims to contribute to our understanding of the process of regional integration currently underway in South America.

A curvatura da banana
Nesse novo livro, Marcos Costa, consagrado autor de História do Brasil para quem tem pressa, apresenta uma espécie de doença social que acomete o Brasil desde a chegada dos portugueses e nos impede de construir um projeto de nação. Relembrando fatos históricos conhecidos de todos nós, ele delineia as circunstâncias em que foi lançada a pedra fundamental que vem baseando nosso cotidiano ao longo dos últimos 500 anos e levanta questões que nos farão refletir sobre que país desejamos para os próximos cinco centenários. "A recorrência, no Brasil, das relações espúrias entre governo e empresários ao longo de 500 anos de nossa história e a consequente falta de distinção entr...
