Brazil Future Economic Super Power?

Nov 19, 2009 - After decades of political instability, poverty and uncertanty has Brazil finally hit her stride? We all know that Brazilians know how to party and play (football) but can they roll with the G8 and give them a run for their money? In 2001 Goldmen Sachs placed Brazil with Russia, India and China as the economies that would come to dominate the world. Some may find it queer to place a country with a growth rate as skimpy as its swim suits, an economic fragility that consistantly suffered with any financial crisis, chronic political instability and a history of squandering economic potential could have so effectively put those wose behind them to pave the way for such a prosperous future. China is said to lead the world out of our currant economic down turn with Brazil hot on their heals. Brazil did not avoid the down turn but was among the last in and the first out. Their economy is growing at a rate of 5% annualy and will pick up in the short term as new deep sea oil fields come online. Brazil also enjoys a food and mineral trade with many Asian countries. Sometime after 2014 Brazil is scheduled to become the worlds 5th largest economy saying to Great Britan and France uhm excuse me I beleive that's my seat. In many ways Brazil is said to outclass the other up and comers (Chine, India and Russia). Unlike China and Russia it is a democracy. Unlike India it has no insurgent, ethnic, religious hostility or unfriendly neighbors. Unlike Russia it exports more than oil and arms and treats it's investors with respect. Is that code for arss kissing? - 4 Comments
