At an event hosted by the Inter-American Dialogue on March 30, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, former president of Brazil and co-chair of the Dialogue, explained that although he came from a powerful political family, he never considered a political career early in life.
Cardoso said that it was only when he went into exile at the start of Brazil's military dictatorship in 1964 that he realized he might have a future in politics.
I support democratic rules and an increase in social programs, Cardoso explained, adding that financial measures alone "won't fix peoples lives." He also said that it is crucial to have economic growth to generate employment and reduce social inequality-growth is even more important in this regard that social policy or land reform.

 Former President of Brazil, Fernando Henrique Cardoso: A Most Public Sociologist
Cardoso’s analysis of his presidency is as double-sided as his career, amounting almost to a participant-observation study of globalization and democratization.
From this perspective, it is perhaps not surprising that today, Cardoso considers his presidency’s greatest accomplishment the creation of new channels of participation—an accomplishment in which he acknowledges the important role of his wife, Ruth Cardoso, a well-known Brazilian anthropologist who is widely respected for her work on and with Brazilian social movements.
This political inclusion did not come easily; Cardoso underscores the degree of opposition from political parties and state bureaucrats, and notes the difficulties involved in dealing with chaotic groups or sometimes intemperate movement activists whose goals may not be clear or explicit.

 Brazil - Brazzil Magazine - Cardoso, Brazil's Neoliberal Marxist
Cardoso's rise to power took place via an academic career highlighted by exile to Chile and forced retirement by the military dictatorship, and a political career highlighted by Brazil's return to democratic rule in 1985 and victory over her long-standing battle with hyperinflation in 1994.
Cardoso can additionally be remembered for the place he secured in political folklore while serving as finance minister, this due to an notorious 1993 report by Oliveira and Seidl in the daily "Folha de S. Paulo" that Cardoso told a group of businessmen to "forget what I wrote" [as a Marxist] (2).
While Cardoso's academic writings were filled with discussions of capitalism, class exploitation and a commitment to the values of socialism, Cardoso's presidential policies, by contrast, primarily reflect a commitment to the expansion of entrepreneurship, free enterprise and integration of Brazil into the framework of global capitalism.
