The article analyzes, in an exploratory manner, the likely impacts of the Bolsonaro Government's economic agenda on growth and social inclusion by examining it in the light of a global context characterized by financialization and a domestic scenario dominated by stagnation. To this end, it highlights the main axes of this agenda and their possible effects: first, a fiscal effect encompassing the pension and the tax reforms and the new tax regime, including in the latter a proposal for radical untying of some former obligatory spending from the government budget; second, macroeconomic and financial effects, including the independence of the Central Bank, foreign exchange liberalization and a new financing pattern in which the dismantling of public banks is part; lastly, productive and distributive effects, including trade liberalization, privatization, infrastructure policy, the new round of labor reform and the minimum wage policy.
