Abstract
Locating ‘social justice’ and ‘social consciousness’ as new buzzwords in dominant economic development paradigms, this paper explores the contradictions between discourse and economic structure in recent social policy programs implemented through World Bank involvement in Latin America (2000-2012). The authors use a critical discourse analysis technique to analyze official World Bank documents pertaining to two projects, the Jefes de Hogar (Argentina) and the Bolsa Familia (Brazil). The study concluded that social justice/quality of life discourse was used in a superficial manner, with the overarching goals of World Bank social policy remaining to be the hegemonic safeguarding of global neoliberal economic-political structures.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
