Abstract

This article intends to investigate the relations between the monetary policies and principally the fiscal policies in the general perception of the solvency of the government. Based on the analysis of the fiscal policy of England during the last century, I use the same method to analyze the available data of the Brazilian government during the recent period, discussing the rise of the relationship between the debt/GDP when actions of fiscal consolidation are taken. The results there where reach show us that in periods of consolidation the relation between public debt/GDP rose, what is against what is commonly expected.
