Rousseff’s administration and the economic populism: an interpretation
Abstract
The article analyzes the economic policy of Rousseff administration. Based on
the main economic populism theoretical models, we analyze the economic measures (fiscal,
monetary and exchange rate) adopted in that period. Thus, we refuse the hypothesis that its
government could be classified as economic populist as understood in the literature.
