Abstract:

Written in the form of a theoretical essay, the article raises reflections on the way the public budget is managed in Brazil and its articulation with two thematic axes: austerity, treatment of public debt and promotion of social policies. Final considerations point to the possibility of associating practices in the management of the Brazilian federal budget and a state of economic exception perpetuated over time and, as a result, limiting the promotion of social protection rights.
