Description
Book SynopsisThis book examines the social and economic conditions in Brazil, when the military came to power, implanting an economic model for rapid development, which resulted in a severe increase in hunger and poverty. The slow retreat of the military regime from the state apparatus and the rise of civil society reacting to declining living conditions led to the articulation of the ''Movement Against Hunger'' and the foundation of the National Food Security Council.
