Her 2018 book Valsa Brasileira: do boom ao caos econômico, which analyzes the growth and subsequent crisis of the Brazilian economy starting in 2014, became one of the country's best sellers that year. [2][3] The book became a finalist for the 61st Jabuti Prize in the "Humanities" category, but did not actually win.[4][5]

Still in 2018, she participated in the initial formulation of the economic proposals of the pre-candidate Guilherme Boulos, who was running for president for the Socialism and Liberty Party in the 2018 presidential election.[3][6]

She wrote a column for newspaper Folha de S. Paulo from 2015 to 2019.[7] As of 2020, she is a columnist for the news website Nexo.[8]
