The purpose of the paper is to investigate whether Brazilians have become more conservative in economic terms, especially after 2013, despite the gains of center-left management in the social field. As a methodology, a descriptive analysis of data from different sources is presented , as well as a literature review on the 2013 protests. The results, with contribution to literature due to the breadth of information and approach, point to the progress of social policy with repercussions on the fall of poverty and inequality, however, with setbacks materializing in Constitutional Amendment 95 and in labor and social security reforms. Amid the inflection that started with the 2013 demonstrations,  the conclusion is that there seems to have been a wave of economic conservatism, which would have reached its peak at some point in the five years after 2013.
