The advancement of neoliberal ideas in Brazil marked the beginning of major economic and social changes. The Collor era, interrupted by the impeachment, was the first Brazilian neoliberal experience, and it was Fernando Henrique Cardoso (FHC) who assumed to continue the legacy left incomplete by Collor. Thereafter, the processes of passive integration of the Brazilian economy, of flexibility, deregulation and privatization have continued at full steam. Social policies followed the guidelines of the World Bank and therefore prioritized focus, and not universality. Lula inherited the political and economic model of FHC and changed almost nothing. Social policies - especially the ‘Bolsa Família’ - continued in the same logic, but served this time as a means to control the weaker social classes. This study aims at investigating the extent to which the governments of FHC and Lula followed the neoliberal ideal, since neoliberalism permeated both of them.
