Democracy without equity

Description:

"Argues that Brazil's inability to implement major equity-enhancing reforms in post-1985 regime is result of personalist politics, a highly segmented society, and a lack of cohesion within the State apparatus. Case studies of health care, taxation, and social insurance provide an excellent window into policy-making in the new democracy"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
