Since the 19th, the book Culture of Transgressions in Brazil - Lessons from
History will be available in the best bookstores in the country, published by Editora
Hail. To mark the launch, the Brazilian Institute of Ethics in Competition
(Etco) promoted an event at the Commercial Association of Rio de Janeiro, in the Center.
At 16h, there was a chat with the authors, mediated by the writer Merval
Pereira, followed by a cocktail and space for autographs.
The first edition was launched in February by Etco, in partnership with
Fernando Henrique Cardoso Institute (iFHC), and turned into reading
mandatory for academics, entrepreneurs and those interested in the subject. The publication
it is the result of the eponymous seminar promoted by Etco and iFHC in August 2007.
The objective was to answer the following question: “Overcoming this culture is a
for the development?" Although misconduct has crossed
centuries, scholars Bolívar Lamounier, Joaquim Falcão, José Murilo de
Carvalho and Roberto DaMatta indicate that it is possible to turn that game around.
“The lack of ethics that derives from the culture of transgressions threatens democracy
and harms our economic growth ”, says Professor André
Franco Montoro Filho, executive president of Etco. “It is essential to find
ways to overcome this culture. The book is an excellent reflection on these
issues ”, he concludes.
