US and Brazil political and economic trends

Overview

Political and social analyses in the United States and Brazil have examined the intersection of neoliberalism, technology, and shifting voter values. In the United States, discussions have focused on how big tech companies may be transforming the ‘public spirit’ and how economic frustrations regarding food, gasoline, and healthcare costs influence the political landscape. Scholars have also explored how neoliberal governance might contribute to the rise of extreme right figures and the erosion of democratic processes.

Further research highlights a disconnect between macroeconomic data and voter perception. In Brazil, despite falling unemployment and rising real wages, a majority of voters rate the national economy negatively. In the United States, studies suggest that political success may depend on framing progressive issues, such as climate change and reproductive rights, through traditional values like community loyalty and personal security to better connect with working-class voters.
