| Description |
When it comes to containing public debt and placing the country on a sustainable growth path, Professor Aloisio Araujo, the only Brazilian economist elected to the U.S. National Academy of Science, has a clear idea of the role the government should play in the economy. He agrees with President Michel Temer’s strategy of making privatization a priority and setting a ceiling for public expenditure— as long as it is accompanied by social security reform - but argues for retaining constitutional mandates on spending for health and education. He believes that making education spending more efficient should not be done through budget cuts: “We have to rebalance government finances and ensure funding for health, education, science and technology, through two fronts: social security reform and reducing the role of government as operator of state-owned companies, which are vulnerable to political manipulation.”
