Ariel Goldstein explains how Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, the charismatic ?Lula of the right? came to power, in the context of a historical third wave of Latin American far right politics. Bolsonaro capitalized on an interlocked crisis in Brazil, and built his government on a coalition of evangelical pastors, the military, financial markets and the agribusiness sector.
