Brazil has been through an economic crisis, marked by a trough in 2015-2016 and followed by near stagnation until 2020, when the shock of the SARS-COV2 pandemic occurred. This is opposed to the previous decade marked by a period of economic growth until 2011, when the first signs of an economic slowdown in Brazil appeared, associated with changes in the international scenario, which include the US financial crisis, the sovereign debt crisis in the European Union and more recently, the Pandemic crisis. The shocks generated reflections on numerous issues regarding the current economic theory (mainstream) and initiated discussions about the role of the state in the economy. In 2014, the economic crisis in Brazil began, in which macroeconomic policies aimed at fiscal austerity were adopted. The focus of this study is to analyze, from a post-Keynesian approach, the implications, and results of these austere policies, taken in the period from 2014 to 2020, which were unable to generate recovery of the economic growth. To generate a new period of economic growth, it is necessary to contest the rhetoric of austerity, aiming at the adoption of anticyclical fiscal policies combined with the continuity of social policies.
