The tax burden is awful, though. On the other hand, law enforcement is crappy there, so in practice there are less regulations.

Brazil will have more attention on it than ever now that it has been awarded the right to host the 2016 Olympics. Their economics are impressive, and they have a lot of potential. Looking forward to watching them grow on the global market. Great post. Brazil will have more attention on it than ever now that it has been awarded the right to host the 2016 Olympics.

Education is still far from being accessible to all society layers what means that, the country at some point will struggle with lack of qualified professionals. Public Health system sucks. Taxes are also extremely high - $500 billions on 2009 (50% of GDP) according to www.impostometro.com.br/ - all paid by us, citizens. Investments in infrastructure are also quite below what they should so, don't expect this to be the "new land of opportunity" as soon as corruption and impunity remain and federal gov keeps with this welfare system. It's all it does: takes from those who work and give it for free to the poorest to be reelected. Corruption here is incredibly high.

What is most impressive about the recent improved performance of Brazil is that it is under a left leaning government (albeit continuing the reforms begun by a party of the center right). Brazil has avoided the wave of idiotic far-left populism that has swept across South America, giving hope that the country will continue to attack the problems and attitudes that have kept it poor for so long. “Brazil is the country of the future, and it always will be” goes the old wag.
