Abstract

The period of neoliberalism was promoting a series of actions and mechanisms that imposed the acceleration and deepening of globalization. Among those impositions was a specific type of monetary policy that outlined and purged an obsession against inflation that included fiscal balance, that is, the serious danger of public spending and deficits, almost a religion; dangers that according to the discourse were exorcised since the 2007 crisis, with the wheelbarrows of public money that have flooded the channels of the financial system; policies that were actually designed for the benefit of some sectors, small and closed, but against large social segments, especially the most vulnerable.
