Sumario:This article examines the effects of neoliberalism in Brazilian education, exploring its operations in public policies and its tactics of subjective control. The theoretical framework includes authors such as Laval (2019), Guattari (1992), Freitas (2014a), Leher (2022), and Motta (2013), providing a critical basis for investigating the relationship between neoliberalism and education. Using an approach grounded in Social Psychology, a literature review was conducted, configuring five explanatory categories referring to the various layers of this phenomenon. The results reveal five axes of analysis: the financialization of education, the entrepreneurial ethos, the commodification of education, the marketplace, and the production of the neoliberal subject. Emphasis is placed on measures of efficiency, competition, and privatization, at the expense of horizons of equity and inclusion. This study contributes to mapping processes present in the educational system under neoliberal attack, highlighting the need for policies that prioritize social justice.
