Did Brazil Find the Solution to Poverty?

  • In the 2000s, Brazil’s leftist leader Lula da Silva implemented an audacious program of poverty reduction. It was called Bolsa Família, “the family stipend,” and offered a guaranteed income to all poor families in Brazil. The program went totally contrary to the prevailing neoliberal consensus.
    But while the countries that implemented “welfare reform” saw poverty increase, Brazil’s program led to massive reductions in poverty. Lula’s program lifted tens of millions of people out of extreme poverty. In essence, Brazil figured out the solution for poverty, and it's very simple. Give people money, and their lives will improve.

    As a Brazilian, I can say that on the one hand I am proud of what we have achieved.
    All the leaders who passed through our country had their downside, including Lula and it's good to always show this side too, but the Bolsa Família was a big step towards social inequality, and I would also like to mention the SUS (Unified Health System ) responsible for providing free medical care to all Brazilians and offering the opportunity to care for families who cannot afford a private hospital.
    But there is such a long way to go:
    With the bad economic administration, especially for a few years now, the Bolsa Família is no longer being enough to help families, especially with unemployment, thanks to the pandemic, which made many people have to depend on the program as well and overloading it.
    The lack of effective oversight allows many people who do not deserve to receive the benefit and take it away from those who really should be receiving this money.
    We haven't ended poverty.
    not yet.
    But I hope that in the future we will make it.

    Pagliarini gives an excellent summary. However, the income transfer from Bolsa Família went from the medium class to the lower class. By not taxing the rich and promoting too little land reforms than what it was needed, the shrinking of poverty in Brazil was much lower than its potential.
    Lula isn't necessarily a socialist, meaning we preferred to conciliate the classes instead of abolishing their struggle and sure, Bolsa Família manage to do a lot to transform the reality of our poor, but it would have been a lot better if PT gave less to the conservatives in Congress at that time

Lula isn't an idiot - obviously it would have worked much better if the richest were taxed instead of the middle class. He was strategic about what could be done given the political terrain at the time, and that meant having to appease the rich. Since the middle class were never supporters of the PT anyway, it made sense to let them take the brunt for the scheme. I'm sure that now, since the PT has established a base and can go off Lula's reputation, they would rather tax the rich.

  • @marcossonicracer
    @marcossonicracer 2 роки тому +892

    ok... lemme tell ya some things, as a Brazilian Myself:
    First: The program wasn't created by Lula. only adapted by him. previously it was Known as "Bolsa Escola" and many other names before becoming Bolsa Familia. and yes, it did give better conditions at the time for poorer people, especially because it recieved a huge boost when Lula was in the presidency, but it wasn't by any means a "livable wage" then, and it isn't today. it is at best, a help for those that have nothing. but giving one dollar to someone that has zero, doesn't automatically make him live better. conditions in favelas continues to be bad.
    Second: Lula Surfed on the Commodity boom that ended in the 2008 global crisis, that's what allowed him to make his program work. his numbers in 2009 and 2010 wee mediocre at best. using the comodity boom by itself is not wrong by any means, and anyone with the same principles of Lula would've done the same if they were on his place. the thing that this video forgets to mention is that after the crisis in 2008, the situation on social programs deteriorated, by a lot. and even with the program recieving big boosts and the minimum wage becoming USD 200 a month (at times when Lula was president it was USD 500 converted to the values of that time), the problem with Brazilian Economy is not the quantity of money itself, but that the money isn't worth anything. imagine paying 5 or 7 dollars for a Litter (not a gallon, a Litter) of Gasoline, for example, today. yes, things were cheaper at the time Lula was in the presidency, the Dollar was much lower than today, that's a fact, he did a lot of undeniable good things. but it wasn't his merit alone. and this is what this video fails to tell.
    Third: his succesors were a disaster. Ask anyone, Dilma was a disaster, Temer was a disaster. and Bolsonaro is the worst disaster of them all. a plethora of bad decisions, corruption scandals from both sides of the political spectrum, not to mention Millions and Millions in money to the pockets of the rich. this isn't an Exclusivity from Bolsonaro's Regimen, it comes from long, and it shows.
    Fourth: if you think Favelas are bad. boy, you know nothing. try searching for Palafitas. that's what the pinnacle of a bad place to be. and yes, they did recede from the past for today, but at the same time, you cannot say that inequality disappeared or that Bolsa Familia made even a small dent on it. it helps of course, any help to anyone that has nothing is life changing, but it is not enough, and we all here know it.
    Fifth: Both sides on the Political panorama were wrong on the Military regimen time. let's not forget the Araguaia Guerrillas, the Kidnaping of Diplomats and the Bomb attack on the Recife International airport. the military regimen Killed people on DOPS, and tortured, that's a fact. and there is people that is missing to this day. but the people on the Other side are not saints either. both sides tortured and killed people. and Lula's Allies were members of those Groups, with Dilma, Lula's Successor, being a member an Anti-Government Group at that time herself.
    yes, Lula and the PT did good things, but so did terrible things. Show both sides and expose the skeletons of both sides, please.

    as a brazilian i have to say: this video has a lot of problems and it tells the story as if there was a "right side" and a "wrong side". it is far from the reality of the country.
    first, lula wasnt the president who created bolsa familia, it was the one before him and he just changed the name of the program. second, in PT administration the country did grow a lot, but so did the inequality and
    income concentration problems, is just that everyone was welthier so there was no reason to complain or even realize what was really happening. and the problem is right there, PT is arguably the most corrupt (if not certanly one of the most) political party in the world, lula was even condemned and arrested (for only one of his uncoutable crimes) because of that (later he was declared inocent by one minister he
    indicated, obviously), and great part of the economical growth of brazilian economy in lula's goverment was due to criminal political deals with big companies. the conomical growth achieved was so false, that in the middle of dilma (lula's ally and successor) administration the country dove into a gigantic economical crisis of which it has not recovered yet. i do belive that bolsa familia was a positive thing (it could be even better though), but this story that PT is a party of the people is just marketing and a useful tool to acquire votes, the truth is PT was the most capitalist goverment of Brazil's history (they even admit it). there is no right or wrong side in Brazil past and present, but probably the most part of the sides are just wrong.

    I think the omission of the policies started in Fernando Henrique Cardoso presidency, such as the project that later was renamed and increased in Lula's government, "Bolsa família", and the "Plano Real", a great economic plan, maybe the best one done in Brazil, that reduced the enormous Brazilian inflation to acceptable rates to the people, was a downside to this video and a bit misleading, because the transition between the military coup and Lula's "socialist" government was long and diverse. If not for a series of privatizations that made the Plano Real possible, maybe the future governments wouldnt be able to provide to the people a social security programn, such as Bolsa família, in pair to the rising inflation.
    And, statistically, inequality in Brazil increased in Lula's government, because the elite and specially the banking sector recieved a lot of benefits during Lula's government, while the industrial sector was shrinked, but the extreme poverty was almost extinguished, as stated in the video.

And around 2012, because of it, Brasil started to get very indebted. And nowadays, we still didn't really fix that on account of the pandemic and the current government that just left the things worst.

Sendo assim, ele ficou como um mix de outras iniciativas sociais, incluindo o Programa Auxílio Gás, que foi criado no governo FHC, no ano de 2002.Fica claro que o Bolsa Família é a unificação do Bolsa Escola, criado em abril de 2001; do Bolsa Alimentação, criado em setembro de 2001, e do Auxílio Gás, criado em janeiro de 2002.O Lula não criou o Bolsa Família.

They make the line extremely low so that it's easy to claim improvement.

      @@redditsucksyo socialism is about restructuring the economy so that the workplace is controlled by the workers instead of rich property owners.
      The idea that we just care about taxes is a conservative myth meant to make us look no different from social democrats. You should actually study socialism before criticising it.
      Also I find it ironic that you criticise us for not considering inflation or job creation when the lowest inflation rates are found in countries with price fixing and the highest employment rates were found in the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc.
      It's almost as if the majority of criticisms of socialism are actually just capitalists projecting the damning faults of capitalism so that the masses don't realise they have no reason to tolerate capitalism for even a day longer.

    The program did lift people from extreme poverty, but also hard cemented them into regular poverty.
    It is useful only on the use case listed above, precisely because the government doesn't pay it if you earn more than a certain threshold. This stimulates people into staying below that limit to keep receiving it.
    A much better solution would be to keep the program, sure, but also to provide the means to go beyond that quickly. This can only be achieved by expanding the economy and the private sector, so that jobs are more plentiful and better paying.
    A thing that Lula made way too difficult by the sheer amount of government debt, overall taxation and feeding the unions to the point they became fat and ineffective.
    As a middle class Brazilian, I see this as a way to keep stuff at a standstill or worse then they were, while making him a Christ figure.

      I guess it may be an inevitability that the working class may turn to social democracy at some point (or more) but I wonder how long it's gonna take. Social democratic policies like universal healthcare are very popular amongst the populace so it may be sooner than we think.
      I think that anti-communist propaganda of the past have left a sour taste in everyone's mouth, and right-wing politicians use that to their advantage.

Pagliarini gives a nice summary, but the video is a bit too romantic about a government that gave only the bare minimum while they could do MUCH more. Lula didn't even promote land reforms and partially screwed the social security program (Michel Temer screwed the most) besides having support of both the biggest land struggle movement of the world (MST) and the biggest sindicalist association of Latin America (CUT)

Therefore, when the 2008 and 2014 economical crisis hit, people quickly started to look for other president who coul give their money (buyer power) back. Along with others factors, it was crucial to leave us at the horrible situation where are at now.
