Academic life

Controversies
A defender of individual liberties[5] and of the right to private property,[6] Rosenfield has positioned himself against state interference in citizens' lives.[7] In an interview to Veja's magazine in 2011, he characterized ANVISA, a Brazilian government agency akin to the US' Food and Drug Administration, as "the great tutor of the Brazilian citizen, one who knows everything and to whom we owe blind obedience." According to Rosenfield, the ANVISA Agency was being run by "schizophrenics" whose sole purpose has been to meddle in the lives of the Brazilians.[8]
Rosenfield sees no problem in being called a "rightist", since it means "the defense of personal freedom, of the state and of the property rights."[8]
