Using an input-output framework, this article studies the consequences of income redistribution from rich people either to poor people or to the government upon the sectoral structure of the Brazilian economy in the 70s. Two main results emerge from the empirical analysis: first, agriculture is the most important sector in the generation of employment in response to transfers of income from rich to poor households; second, the urbanization which accompanied growth during the 70s favours a redistributive strategy in which the role of government becomes outstanding in terms of generation of both value added and employment.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the main characteristics of new Lula's government support. The paper's hypothesis concentrates in the idea of starting a different political approach, "a new populism". The paper argues that Lula's government to keep in power, beyond of going on with the neoliberal project - unfinished in the last years of FHC government -, needs to build up a solid and trustful political support, which is being done by implementing income transfer programs directed to poor people and the ones with less organization experience. This paper also calls the attention to Lula's government nature, in order to clarify the difficulties which should be dealt and the tasks to be developed in building up a political party that defends workers emancipation and Brazilians exploited.

Ao longo da Nova República, os governos do PSDB (1994 a 2002) e do PT (2003 a 2015) construíram um amplo e complexo conjunto de políticas e instituições objetivando implementar as políticas inclusivas previstas na Constituição de 1988, embora com fortes diferenças em termos de ênfase e intensidade. Em seu conjunto, as políticas produzidas desde a redemocratização redesenharam uma parte substancial das instituições e de nosso sistema de proteção social. Analisar em detalhes as trajetórias dessas transformações é o objetivo do livro. A publicação é um lançamento do Centro de Estudos da Metrópole (CEM) pela Editora Unesp e conta com o apoio da Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (Fapesp). É organizado por Marta Arretche (pesquisadora do CEM), Eduardo Marques, diretor do CEM (ambos professores titulares do Departamento de Ciência Política da USP), e Carlos Aurélio Pimenta de Faria (professor da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais - PUC Minas).
