In the new episode of Brazil Unfiltered, James Naylor Green speaks with Marcos Arruda, economist, professor and author. He is an associate and co-founder of the PACS Institute (Alternative Policies for the Southern Cone), in Rio de Janeiro and an associate of the Transnational Institute.

He was also professor and lecturer at various universities in Brazil and abroad. He is the author and co-author of over 10 books, including A Mother's Cry: A Memoir of Politics, Prison, and Torture under the Brazilian Military Dictatorship.
