  • Crise, Financerização E Desafios Da Redistribuição No Século Xxi

    Open Access•Lena Lavinas•ARTICLE•Revista da ABET•2024

    Este artigo aborda algumas das profundas transformações que a dominância do capitalismo financeiro vem provocando e normalizando em nossas vidas ao alterar por completo a funcionalidade da política social e a natureza dos regimes de bem-estar, ambos responsáveis pela materialização das políticas redistributivas e pelo enfrentamento das inúmeras formas de desigualdades que caracterizam todas as sociedades contemporâneas.

  • Income transfers and household debt. The advancing collateralization of social policy in the midst of restructuring crises

    Open Access•Lena Lavinas, Eliane Cristina Araújo et al.•ARTICLE•Brazilian Journal of Political…•2024•Cited by: 1•References: 6

    The aim of this article is to address how household debt and contemporary credit markets seem to be the defining elements in the reshaping of social policy both in developing and developed countries. We start off by recalling how the implementation of income policies as the core of a new social protection paradigm has contributed to promote market-based finance. We take Brazil as a case study to illustrate how this new connection between state gu…

    Focusing on the Latin American experience, and taking Brazil as an example, this article examines the recent trajectory of cash transfer schemes and how they might develop in the face of the humanitarian, economic and social crisis brought about by the coronavirus outbreak. Will they be reinforced as the one-size-fits-all solution? If so, what form will they take: target programmes or a universal basic income? This contribution explores the prosp…

    Desde a segunda metade do século XX, reformas tornaram-se contínuas no âmbito dos sistemas de proteção social, ampliando ou, com mais frequência, restringindo o escopo e a escala da provisão pública.

  • The Collateralization of Social Policy under Financialized Capitalism

    Open Access•Lena Lavinas•ARTICLE•Development and Change•2018•Cited by: 48•References: 23

    This article examines how financialized capitalism has radically subverted the role and logic of social policy, provoking a sea change in the realm of social welfare, particularly in the global South, and breaking with previous frameworks which were grounded in principles of redistribution. In the process, new blueprints have emerged which raise concerns: re-commodification has replaced de-commodification; and debt, through financial inclusion, n…
