This captivating book delves into the realm of philanthropy among Brazilian elites during a pivotal period in recent Brazilian history, spanning from the final term of Workers Party president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to the election of far-right president Jair Bolsonaro. Set against the backdrop of political upheaval, the book poses a thought-provoking question: what insights can philanthropy offer regarding the role of corporate and wealth elites in perpetuating the socio-economic inequalities that continue to shape Brazilian society?
The book argues that globally, the increasing involvement of the private sector in international development has given rise to a global philanthropic project centered on practices of philanthrocapitalism and social finance. This project ultimately aims to legitimize global capitalism and the elite interests it serves. Through an in-depth and comprehensive ethnographic study conducted among philanthropists and their advisors in over 30 Brazilian foundations and intermediary organizations, the book combines a structural critique of the capitalist ideologies underlying philanthropic practice with a robust exploration of how wealthy Brazilians harness philanthropy to reinforce elite reproduction and wealth accumulation.
This book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers across Latin American studies, development studies, and the anthropology of development. It makes a timely contribution to the under-researched areas of elite studies and the study of philanthropy, offering valuable insights into the complex dynamics of power, wealth, and social change in Brazil.
