Impacts of Neoliberalism on the Welfare State and Democracy

A Conceptual and Empirical Analysis

Abstract

The aim is to analyze the foundations of neoliberalism through its main author (F. Hayek), in the context of the "austrian school", in order to demonstrate the opposition to political democracy (for example, social participation) and social democracy ( the rights society). Likewise, it aims to demonstrate the linkage of the state parliamentary coup (released in 2016 in Brazil) to the values stemming from this ideology. To that end, the main document produced by the political party that led the coup, the PMDB, is analyzed, which presupposes the neoliberal ideas bequeathed by Hayek and others, as well as antisocial and antipopular programs that have been substantively altering Brazilian political, economic and social life .
