1992 – The necessary stabilization
Abstract
This essay tries to respond to the question: what is the reason for Brazil be
unable to stabilizes its economy? Three complementary responses can be assessed: i) a fiscal
adjust is necessary but not enacted; ii) there is not sufficient technical capacity; and, iii) the
country lacks political will. These are not mutually exclusive and are treated along the text
at the same time it is shown that the gradualist approach is not possible.
