Real, 10 years: rupture or continuity?
Professors Geraldo Biasoto and Wilson Cano, from the Institute of Economics, evaluate the 10 years of Plano Real, launched by then president Itamar Franco to combat inflation. The teachers disagree on most points but have a similar opinion about the fact that the Lula government oscillates between criticism and continuity of the Plan. For Biasoto, “in the absence of formulation capacity  itself, the PT bought the policy that it fought so hard”. According to Wilson Cano, “the government regrets the cursed legacy, at the same time that it continues – and in some cases deepens, as in the Pension Reform and union and labor reform projects – the process that gave rise to it”.
