Development and public budget in the country. These are the issues addressed by the book The Forgotten Reform: budget, public management and development ? recently launched by FGV Press and put together by the professors of FGV's Brazilian School of Public and Business Administration (EBAPE), Fernando Rezende and Armando Cunha.  In fact, there is not such a 'Budget Reform that has been dragging on for so many years'. The major initial challenge associated with the budget reform is precisely to achieve a minimum degree of social and political mobilization on the need for change in the budgeting process in the Brazilian public sector, explained the publishers of the work in an interview with FGV Press' blog. Yet, according to them, the budget reform becomes more urgent in light of the economic, political and social changes which occurred in the Brazilian society over the last 30 years.  According to FGV's president, professor Carlos Ivan Simonsen Leal, public budget should serve as an important instrument for strengthening democracy and promoting the development of the economy and social well-being', he points out. And he goes on, during the book's presentation. To promote the perception of this importance and create conditions so that Brazilian citizens may participate in the process of budget elaboration and implementation should be an important objective to be pursued.  The book The Forgotten Reform: budget, public administration and development is available only in Portuguese, both in printed and eBook version.  Please click here and learn more (available only in Portuguese)
