Inhaltsangabe

Like the other so-called BRIC countries - Russia, India, China - Brazil is an emerging market of almost continental size, with multiple time zones and climate zones, from the temperate south to the tropical north. However, this volume argues that the BRIC is a deceptive category. The units are countries, but the interest is in specific economic sectors that are deemed strategic and promise high returns for investors in the global North. In contrast, this volume offers a critical inquiry into the social project and the socioeconomic realities of emerging Brazil, focusing not just on growth but on the quality of growth, on social inequality, and the frontiers of emancipation.
