About understanding without agreeing

There is a distinction, which is very powerful in social sciences, between understanding and agreeing. That is decisive for a political culture: being able to understand what you do not agree with.

About detoxing the economy

Brazil was tainted by high interest rates and an overvalued exchange rate. There is a transition period for the economy to adapt to new conditions: a monetary policy where inflation control comes with lower interest rates. It is the detoxing of high interest rates. We are going to go from financial profit to the productive one.

About what sustains human trade

A vision of sexuality founded in hedonism added to the remnants of the macho culture that humiliates and demeans women along with the permanent demand from the ‘customers’ of sexual trade and the impunity of these sex dealers sustain this criminal market.
