How Much Does it Costs to Belong?

How Brazil solved, with its own network, what the state never guaranteed

130 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

How much does it cost to belong?The question sounds rhetorical until someone does the math - Brazil's personal network protects with an efficiency few countries replicate by law, and charges whoever sustains that protection a price almost nobody stops to add up.This book picks up directly from "The Price of Absence," turning the camera inward: if the first volume showed what the United States bought to avoid presence, this one shows what Brazil built to survive the absence of the state.Eight chapters trace that bill from the colony that chose sugarcane over wheat to today's young Brazilian caught between a civil service exam and a packed suitcase - with DaMatta, Caldeira, Engerman & Sokoloff, and Heckman as research, not opinion.It ends where the previous volume ended too: not in lament. In a path forward.
