The parliamentary coup of 2016 put an end to a 12-year trajectory of PT governments, which started in a completely different way. In this context, our general effort turned to the analysis of how the social question was treated in Brazil, focusing on PT governments. In this trajectory, we carried out a somewhat hybrid review, inspired by elements of systematic review, but not fiercely attached to it. In total, eight works were selected after consecutive stages of filtering the results obtained. Finally, the results of the review indicate a consensus around the deepening of neoliberalism, in the sense of ordering social protection based on the logic of the market. Privatization remains firm and strong as a gradual process, sometimes more intense, sometimes slower against anything that remains public. The commodity boom and the effects of its decline, especially the “late” repercussions of the 2008 crisis, were fundamental elements in the possibilities of managing the permanent counter-reform. The capture of the Public Fund for servicing the public debt, the maintenance of the neoliberal macroeconomic tripod and the untouchable nature of the Fiscal Responsibility Law, the latter used to overthrow Dilma, denounce the undemocratic character of our dependent democracy. Finally, we explore some scenarios and trends against social protection in Brazilian dependent capitalism.Acesso AbertoQuestão socialProteção socialCapitalismoDependênciaPsicologiamasterThesis
