How is the Pandemic Going for You? Trump, Johnson and Bolsonaro in the Swamp

Alfredo Saad-Filho | July 23, 2020

The spectacular failures of Brazil, the UK and the USA during the COVID-19 pandemic offer valuable lessons on what must never happen again: wish away the virus, minimise the potential impact of a pandemic on public health and the economy, delay inevitable lockdowns, the list goes on. They [...]

Coronavirus, Crisis and the End of Neoliberalism

Alfredo Saad-Filho | April 15, 2020

Suddenly, we find ourselves in a transformed world. Empty streets, closed shops, unusually clear skies, and climbing death tolls: something unprecedented is unfolding before our eyes.

Brazil: The Rise of Fascism?

Alfredo Saad-Filho | November 9, 2018

Brazil elected its new President on 28 October 2018 – the improbable, unspeakable fascist former army captain Jair Bolsonaro won against the affable unimpeachable democratic candidate of a left alliance led by the Workers’ Party (PT). Can a sophisticated young democracy, in the largest [...]

The rise of nationalist authoritarianism and the crisis of neoliberalism

Alfredo Saad-Filho | November 2, 2018

Global neoliberalism is in turmoil. Proven policies have lost traction; established political systems haemorrhage legitimacy, and the ideology that once embodied the common sense of the age has degenerated into a farrago of cliches.

Alfredo Saad-Filho | May 25, 2017

The Global Crisis and the Disintegration of Neoliberalism

Alfredo Saad-Filho | December 30, 2016

Overthrowing Dilma Rousseff: It’s Class War, and Their Class is Winning

Alfredo Saad-Filho | March 26, 2016

The judicial coup against President Dilma Rousseff is the culmination of the deepest political crisis in Brazil for 50 years.

Every so often, the bourgeois political system runs into crisis. The machinery of the state jams; the veils of consent are torn asunder and the tools of power [...]

Democracy in the Crucible: Impeachment or Coup d’État in Brazil?

Alfredo Saad-Filho | February 2, 2016

As first posted on E-International Relations, Brazil is the world’s sixth largest economy, a prominent member of the G-20 and the BRICS group of large emerging countries, and the host of the 2014 Football World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics. The country has also attracted attention since [...]
