Within the literature, the most influential theory on the phenomenon of political and social polarization points out that its roots are related to the deepening of economic inequality in democracies. This postulate, however, contrasts with the movement witnessed in the first decade of the 2000s in Latin America, in which polarization advanced in a context of reducing inequality in the reg…

This project aims to advan…

The question is particularly troublesome considering that Brazil, despite being able to recently reduce its income inequality through in-kind services and conditional cash transfers, remains as one of the most unequal countries in the world. By analyzing a significant and b…
