Nova Política de Inclusão Socioeconômica
Abstract
Brazil is a country that presents itself to the rest of the world in a contradictory manner. While it is ranked among the ten greatest economies on the planet, it is also among the four nations with the worst distribution of income. It is among the six main exporters of food, but part of its population experiences famine. It is pointed out as example of anti-AIDS actions while people have suffered from diseases since the 19th century. The social inclusion process, generally of this group of people with no income, who go hungry and have been at the mercy of diseases since the 19th century, is possible, urgent and necessary and depends on the overcoming of two major issues: the first is a new financing standard that permits sustained economic growth, and the second is the construction of a national strategy of social inclusion capable of surmounting the current standard of social policies.
