Existe um estado pós-fordista? reforma

Abstract

This text is in the form of a "policy paper" and it examines and, initially, deals with three preUminary questions: the first one. "Is there a 'post-Fordistic' State?"; the second one: "Is there a new global paradigm?"; the third one: "Is there a Brazilian post-Fordism?". Then it highlights "the lessons coming from the world", summarizing the fundamental problems and the certainties on which we count. After examining these points, the author deals with the old, "non-Fordistic" paradigm in Brazil, carefully discriminating the mode of regulation by "developmentism", presently in check. That leads him to define the "crisis and exhaustion of the old paradigm" and, finally, to a crucial point: "Reform of the Brazilian State", with which he doses his notes.
