The paper analyses the economic policy responses of the Brazilian government
to the international financial crisis. In doing so, the paper aims to answer
a specific question: Can the economic policies implemented in 2008-09 be

crisis seems remember Keynesian economic policies, it is not possible to
argue that the recovery of the Brazilian economy can be considered a
Keynesian showcase.
