In 1988 I helped to form a new political party (PSDB). Did this political engagement imply a “pact with the devil?” No, it did not. Did it imply a rejection of my principles, or the academic work I had done? Quite the contrary. The exercise of politics required an ability to clearly diagnose Brazil’s problems, to understand the structures that were available to affect change, and to accurately gauge what was possible in our society. This was the work of a sociologist. In that sense, the academic and the politician – reason and emotion – they were not only complementary. They were both essential. If there was ever a situation that demanded the skills of a sociologist, it may have been the chaos that confronted Brazil in the early and mid-1990s. Ours was a country in crisis.
