Sumario:This article seeks to analyze the issue of hunger for dignity in Brazil from an analysis of social control through the economy, as well as the capitalist and neoliberal discourse on economic development. The problem that guides the research can be summarized in the following question: To what extent does economic development following liberal or neoliberal theories affect the poorest population? Based on the data collected from a set of research carried out on the subject in the areas of Law, Anthropology and Sociology, reflected from the bibliography that supports the present study, it becomes possible to affirm that the current development model promotes the poverty, inequality, eliminates rights and dignity itself. The general objective of the text is to evaluate how neoliberal economic development ends up being fed by the misery of the population. The specific objectives of the text, which are reflected in its structure in three sections, are: a) To assess, based on studies already carried out in the field of Law, Anthropology and Sociology, the current state of economic development chosen and implemented in Brazil; b) Clarify how this development increases inequalities; c) Explain the incongruity of such a model. The research method used was the hypothetical-deductive, through the use of bibliographic and documental research technique.
