O Estado, o mercado e a caridade: uma análise fenomenológico-hermenêutica do discurso libertário sobre os sistemas de saúde

Amid the debris of a broken promise—freedom as care, or care as burden—this paper delves into libertarian writings on health, published by the Instituto Mises Brasil between 2009 and 2025. Guided by phenomenological hermeneutics (Ricoeur), three threads emerge: health reduced to private choice, the State cast as perennial threat, charity idealized as moral compass. Yet noise lingers. What remains unsaid weighs more: who tends, when no one is bound to care? The analysis, refusing closure, collects fractures, loops, omissions. And maybe—without resolve—it asks what survives of the common when choice becomes everything, and the other, nearly nothing.
