"This book is a kind of pamphlet for citizenship. It indicates concrete actions in its defense. It diagnoses weaknesses and absurdities in Brazilian public life, in the taxpayer's relations with State institutions. For an entity like the Brazilian Bar Association, which in Having been, since its foundation, 93 years ago, a tribune of Brazilian citizenship, this work will serve as a precious and constant source of consultation. I now recommend it to everyone who has the professional responsibility of serving the public, regardless of ideology or political party. This book does not show what citizenship is: it itself is a product of the citizen spirit of its author, whom I congratulate on his undertaking."
