A crise do subprime e seus efeitos sobre os Estados Unidos e reflexos no Brasil

Between December 2007 and June 2009 the United States witnessed 18 months of recession that became known as the subprime crisis. Beginning in the housing market, the crisis moved into the banking and financial markets and spread throughout the entire economy through a domino effect, affecting the majority of other businesses. A major reflection of this was the large rise in unemployment rates due to business slashing jobs in an attempt to preserve cash. Although the crisis has officially ended, the unemployment rate reached over 10% in 2010 in the United States. American's continue to seek new jobs in a very difficult employment market, while attempting to manage the family household budget. American household income, which decreased either by pay cuts, job loss, and the effects of inflation, leads the majority of Americans to declare that the crisis had not yet ended. The crisis has spread to the world in varying degrees. Brazil was one of the countries least affected due to government policies and the large amount of foreign exchange. Although the crisis has affected Brazil only slightly, we will show how it reached this country and how the government solved this problem. This research paper will explain how the subprime crisis began, how it manifested itself in the U.S. economy and throughout the population. Also, it will show the crisis’ effects in Brazil and show some statements from Americans with their respective views and their experiences relative to the crisis

Banco central e política econômica: uma comparação entre Brasil e Argentina no período de 2005 a 2010

Economia Solidária e SENAES: de alternativa ao desemprego à superação do capitalismo?

A monografia procura analisar a essência da Economia Solidária no Brasil, para verificar se essa consiste apenas em mais um modo de adaptação à realidade econômica, frente ao desemprego e à pobreza, ou se possui uma profundidade maior, constituindo uma reação ao capitalismo, o que leva alguns autores a chamarem a ES de modo de produção. Para tanto, primeiramente foi realizado um levantamento de dados que expressam as características e dimensões dessa atividade no país. A seguir foram expostos os argumentos do principal autor e defensor do tema, Paul Singer, e colocadas críticas de autores marxistas. Por fim, foi feita uma análise das pretensões e resultados das políticas públicas implementadas pela SENAES, para averiguar se, na prática, essas seriam, em algum grau, facilitadoras da superação do capitalismo, ou se somente se limitam à parte da população excluída do mercado de trabalho

Globalização, desemprego e (nova) pobreza: estudo sobre impactes nas sodiedades portuguesa e brasileira

This article reflects upon the possible connections between the processes of economic globalization, changes in the labour market and the new forms of poverty. The debate is framed by two different economic contexts: Portugal (characterized by slow and insufficient growth rates, a serious social crisis, and difficulties in asserting itself economically and politically in the European and world contexts) and Brazil (a dynamic emerging economy, with high growth rates and receding poverty levels). This allows us to assess some of the economic and social impacts arising from the global pressure to be economically competitive, which have led to new forms of poverty, social precariousness and job insecurity in both societies.
