A research-driven study of democracy, corruption, and national development.
New York City, New York, United States, 17th Aug 2026 - Author Luke Almeida announces the release of The Cost of Corruption: Part One – Power, Propaganda, and the Unmaking of Brazilian Democracy, a comprehensive work of investigative nonfiction that examines the political, economic, and institutional developments that have shaped modern Brazil.
Drawing from public records, court filings, government reports, historical archives, academic research, and journalistic sources, the book traces Brazil’s political evolution from the post-World War II era through military rule, democratic transition, major corruption investigations, and contemporary political challenges.
Rather than presenting a partisan argument, The Cost of Corruption explores how political power, economic interests, public institutions, and media narratives have influenced one of the world’s largest democracies. The book investigates key historical events, examines competing interpretations of controversial periods, and highlights the long-term consequences of governance decisions on Brazilian society.
