“Analiza el papel histórico del Partido de los Trabajadores desde la redemocratización del país, la formación de lo que denomina el ‘Partido Digital Bolsonarista’ y los desafíos que esta nueva configuración plantea a la democracia brasileña.”

Este domingo se define la segunda vuelta de las elecciones presidenciales en Brasil. En juego está si Lula da Silva logra un cuarto periodo en la presidencia o si cede a un Bolsonarismo fortalecido, que juega a consolidar el rol del trumpismo y de la nueva derecha en la política latinoamericana. Para entender a mayor profundidad el rol de las clases sociales, las transformaciones partidistas y lo que está en juego en la democracia brasileña, PW tiene varias piezas de análisis que pueden consultar en nuestro sitio web. 1/6

EL PÉNDULO BRASILEÑO "Nos encaminamos hacia un realineamiento electoral similar al de 2006, cuando las capas populares, sobre todo las de la base de la pirámide, se decantaron por Lula, mientras que el resto se acercó al PSDB. En 2018, entramos en una especie de interregno. En las elecciones actuales, podríamos estar encaminándonos hacia un nuevo realineamiento" André Singer phenomenalworld.org/es/entre…

“When democracy threatens their interests, Brazilian elites resort to authoritarianism. But authoritarianism exacts a high price on freedom, which in turn becomes intolerable. In the 2026 elections, it remains unclear which way the pendulum will swing.” phenomenalworld.org/intervie…

Brasil se enfrenta a unas elecciones excepcionales. Las urnas no solo determinarán quién será el nuevo presidente, sino el destino mismo de la democracia en el país. Para investigar cómo se llegó a esta encrucijada, Daniel Pavan, editor de Phenomenal World, entrevistó a Marcos Nobre, profesor de filosofía política de la Universidad Estatal de Campinas (Unicamp), investigador del Centro Brasileño de Análisis y Planificación (Cebrap) y director del Centro para la Imaginación Crítica (CCI). phenomenalworld.org/es/entre…

Industrialization shifting on the African continent. Industries anchored in South Africa once. Now? Morocco “sustained modernisation of its productive system,diversification of its exports & the effective implementation of its industrial policy”Our essay phenomenalworld.org/analysis…
Most underrated industrial policy success story: Morocco's auto industry - More car exports to Europe than China - Zero to $14 billion in auto exports in 15 years - Invested heavily in infrastructure: rail, highways, ports - Brought in foreign firms from France, China, Japan, Korea (Renault is Morocco's largest private employer) - Foreign firms enticed with not just subsidies but speed: factories can get approved and built in months - Hugely successful SEZs and industrial parks - Took advantage of FTAs with EU and US and geographical proximity to Europe - Now turning into an EV manufacturing hub - Surge of new plants from Chinese battery makers

Nice, rigorously argued piece from @NewLeftEViews in @phenomenalworld on why the narrative of "Eurosclerosis" doesn't hold up to basic scrutiny--and why it keeps circulating anyway. TLDR: they want an excuse to cut the welfare state.

If you liked this clip, you'll love the 7,000 word text (and charts) version of @NewLeftEViews on the US vs. EU debates: phenomenalworld.org/analysis…
It was great chatting with @NewLeftEViews about what all the discussions about "lack of European competitiveness" get wrong, and why the Draghi report is a dead end.

The Lula model had a tragic flaw: increasing workers’ access to credit allowed them to buy more essentials, like fridges, but also trapped them in growing debt.
