I draw on information and assemble chronologies based on the situation in the United States, and particularly that of Brazil. I then suggest that there is not a crisis in the singular, but various narratives vying for primacy, and that this social game, first and foremost, provides the basis for the distributive conflict inherent to any capitalist society.
