The book delves into the election of Jair Bolsonaro, examining its social and political roots within Brazil's context. It portrays Bolsonaro's rise as a reactionary response to the democratic aspirations ignited by the 2013 uprisings, which protested a failing political system. The author, Marcos Nobre, connects this phenomenon to the broader global surge of far-right movements that threaten democracy, highlighting the challenges faced by democratic ideals in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis and the limitations of the neoliberal consensus.
