“…In this biennium, there was a slowdown in the gross domestic product and the country entered an economic recession, with falls in the average worker’s income and a growth in the level of employment ( 43 ). Amid this complex scenario, in 2016, the deposition of the president of Brazil took place, giving way to governments that prioritized policies of fiscal austerity and a controversial labor reform in a context of inflation and reduction in health investments ( 43 – 45 ).…”

In recent years, suicide rates in Brazil have increased, but little is known about the temporal behavior and characteristics of suicides due to intentional self-poisoning by medicines. The aim of the present study was to provide an overview of sociodemographic characteristics and place of death related to suicide due to intentional self-poisoning by medicines, to evaluate the trend of mortality rates in Brazil between 2003 and 2022, and its relationship with regional and global crises. Ecological time series study with data from the Mortality Information System of the Brazilian Ministry of Health, related to individuals aged 10 years and over, who committed suicides due to intentional drug overdose, in the period from 2003 to 2022. The analyses were performed in the R environment in RStudio. Between 2003 and 2022, there was a predominance of deaths in women (55.5%), individuals aged 30–49 years (47.2%), of White race/color (53.2%), occurring in health facilities (67.0%), using drugs or unspecified substances (40.4%); a higher concentration in the southern region (22.8%) and a positive trend in mortality rates due to intentional drug overdose, especially from 2016 onwards. A rise of 264% was observed in the comparison of 2022 and 2003. A peculiar sociodemographic profile was observed in the victims of intentional self-poisoning by medicines and a positive temporal trend in mortality rates, especially in a period marked by regional and global crises.

“…The buoyancy of the developmentalist period started losing steam in the 1980s, in a period set by transition and austerity (Medeiros and Trebat, 2021). The 1980s was marked by the end of the accelerated growth process and the start of a crisis decade due to external debt, and high and inertial inflation regime (Feijó and Lamônica, 2019;Bresser-Pereira, 2021).…”

“…Thus, we dismiss this phase.2 The period 1980 onward could be considered the Neoliberalism phase. However, since some authors (e.g.,, Saad-Filho, 2020;Medeiros and Trebat, 2021) contend that from1980 and 1990 Brazil experience a decade-long transition with external debt crisis, and it was in the 1990s onward that liberal policies and denationalization actually began we decided to split 1980-2019 into two distinct phases: the Crisis period(1980)(1981)(1982)(1983)(1984)(1985)(1986)(1987)(1988)(1989)(1990), and the Neoliberalism phase.…”

The reconstruction of the economic history of Brazil since independence from Portugal (1822) may lead to a new understanding of its economic growth. The deep-rooted idea that Brazil could have done better means there is a need to delve into each phase of its development. In this paper, we provide a very long-run perspective (1822-2019) of Brazil’s economic growth and process of real convergence. On the one hand, this review indicates that structural changes observed in the middle of the 20th century were crucial in promoting the country’s growth and real convergence with technologically advanced countries. On the other hand, poor institutional conditions and deficient human capital formation have emerged since colonial times as critical factors underlying Brazil’s inability to establish robust and sustainable economic growth.
