Como confiscar a democracia de um país sem aplicar um golpe?

Veja e a política brasileira do Plano Cruzado à eleição parlamentar de 1986

Abstract

This article seeks to analyze the marks of the neoliberal discourse in Veja magazine during the first years of the José Sarney government (from inauguration in March 1985 to the 1986 parliamentary elections). The first element of this analysis is to treat the magazine as a media subject, that is, as an individual endowed with a worldview and ideology that base who he is, how he acts and what he wants from and for the world. Second, the analysis articulates the analysis of works from Ludwig von Mises to Friedrich von Hayek in an attempt to show how these ideas were already circulating in the public sphere and, therefore, were assimilated by the subject Veja and disseminated through its pages to readers/consumer subjects. . With this, what we sought to show, at the end of the text, was the way in which this subject sought to act actively (and not disinterestedly) in the construction of a specific type of democracy.
