O ESTADO SOCIAL-LIBERAL BRASILEIRO E AS POLÍTICAS SOCIAIS DE SATISFAÇÃO DE NECESSIDADES FUNDAMENTAIS: análise da experiência brasileira de 2003 a 2016 com destaque para a política de saúde.

Abstract

This paper discusses the category of need and how it is satisfied in capitalist society, focusing on the discussion of the forms and functions of the State and how it interferes in the process of satisfying needs. We start from the hypothesis that even developing some social policies to satisfy fundamental needs, the form of the Brazilian social liberal State, for having its nature committed to the palliative minimization of income inequalities, therefore not intervening in the essence of the process of contradictory totalization that has production through production as its core, it failed to fully satisfy the fundamental needs of the proletariat in the period 2003-2016. satisfaction of the fundamental needs of the proletariat in the period 2003-2016, with emphasis on the health policy, and to what extent these fully met its needs in the period analyzed. Then, a bibliographical research is carried out on the form of the postmodern State in its particularity and its distinct functions, as well as the form of the Brazilian social-liberal State and its functions in its singularity. Finally, it discusses the main needs satisfaction policies developed by the Brazilian social-liberal State, with emphasis on health policy, and it is concluded that despite the advances regarding the development of economic and social policies that contributed to reducing the enormous social inequality present in Brazilian society, these were insufficient to meet the needs of the proletariat in the period analyzed since the Brazilian State, inserted in the logic of the global state mode, and occupying a peripheral role within this model, could do little in an attempt to meet the multiple needs of the proletariat.
