Abstract

The connection with the State has shaped, in a certain manner, the emergence of geography. This discipline has participated in different ways in the national development agenda. It has constructed a theoretical and empirical framework which has allowed us, since the transition from the national and regional scale, to interpret the nation. It has supported, from a technical and bureaucratic apparatus, the construction of development plans which have historically translated into authoritarian, hegemonic visions of national development. The fact is that the State needed geography and geography, as a scientific field of knowledge, needed investment from the State, especially in the field of training researchers. This history, however, is not linear and, above all in modern times, points to a rift, given that the historical circumstances are marked, on the one hand, by the unrestricted adherence to the neoliberal model, marked by the New Tax System (NRF), and, on the other, by the discrediting of scientific knowledge in general and the field of humanities in particular. The State has completely lost its ambition for a national development project and, due to the lack of this ambition, it has also abandoned geography.

The March of the Family with God for Liberty first took place in São Paulo, on 19 March. It is considered a response to João Goulart’s rally on 13 March 1964. The march brought together segments of organised society, such as landowners, employers’ unions, segments of the church, right-wing politicians and organised women’s movements. The motto God, Family and Liberty well represents the conservative agenda that would be assumed, institutionally, from the 1964 Military Coup.

“The most severe contractionary fiscal policy in the recent history of capitalism, perhaps the biggest ever proposed in the history of humanity, takes shape in the Brazilian scenario in December 2016. Constitutional Amendment 95 legislates on public expenditures, preventing the growth of expenditures destined to primary expenditures for twenty years and excluding from the debate the restriction of the increase concerning the public debt interest and its rollover. In addition, this amendment does not cover non-dependent state-owned companies, responsible for increasing the State’s liabilities without control of the main public budget maintenance bodies.” (Tavares & Ramos, 2018, p. 1)
