Brasil à la americaine

       The reform economists, like most progressives, placed a special faith in administrative government as the ideal organizational vehicle for economic reform.
       “Social control” captures the extraordinary progressive faith in the power of scientifically trained experts to beneficially direct the course of human events, that is, to produce progress.
       The key assumption behind social control was that private and social interests were fundamentally at odds, so that when private behavior was excessive or destructive or deviant, it had to be controlled by society or government.  
      E.A. Ross Social Control: Survey of the Foundations of Order, first published in 1901, was in print until 1932.
