The Sacred And The Profane

Resumo

The current paper intends to analyze and compare how the oil industry was affected by the rise of neoliberal policies in Brazil and Argentina during the early 1990s. This focus of analysis allows researchers in social sciences to have a better understanding of how the neoliberal policies approached the energy market in both countries, and how that was pivotal to implement a “free market” approach to the oil industry. Another area of interest to this paper is to use the comparative analysis of Brazil and Argentina in order to bring evidence on how neoliberalism developed itself in both countries, and most importantly, which was its economic impact over that period.
