The Collapse of the Center: Brazil's Warning to the World | Graham Elwood

An investigative international relations analysis and geopolitical breakdown hosted by Graham Elwood for The Political Vigilante. Reviewing reporting by Glenn Greenwald in The Intercept, Graham examines the political surge of far-right candidate Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil’s 2018 presidential election against Workers' Party (PT) candidate Fernando Haddad. Graham explores how decades of corporate globalisation, severe income inequality, the decay of liberal institutions, and rampant economic exploitation paved the way for authoritarian populism across the globe—connecting the rightward shift in Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies with broader political trends in the United States and Western Europe.
