Abstract

This is an interim, summary and provisional judgment on the Brazilian experiment of the past nine years, that is, since the military took power on April 1, 1964. To try to give an impression of the results of the interaction among the values of political democracy, equality, and economic growth, and the present levels compared with those of 1964 as well as what appear to be the trends. I have chosen six “indicators”:

  1. (1) the autonomy and integrity of the legal system;

  2. (2) torture and police brutality;

  3. (3) freedom of the mass media;

  4. (4) income distribution patterns;

  5. (5) education distribution patterns; and

  6. (6) the quality of life of the people of the city of greater São Paulo.
