The purpose of this article is to analyze the nature and principal characteristics of the Lula government's social policy, revealing its close relationship with the liberal-orthodox economic policy inherited from the previous government as a 'cursed legacy', but maintained and extended by the new government. Therefore, more than reviewing all the details and dimensions of this social policy, the purpose is to analyze its content and broader political-economic meaning, considering its central and politically defining element, even in symbolic terms: the Family Grant program to combat poverty.Downloads
