The Brazilian Economic Miracle

It still amazes me to corroborate what the right government can do for a country. I've worked with Brazilians for many years, and I've always been impressed by their business-smarts, their shrewdness and their professionalism. And yet, it was always sad to see such a rich country and rather sophisticated people struggling with poverty and underdevelopment. It was hard to believe so much talent could not pull the country forward. I am glad to see Brazil's vigorous revival.
