Brazil is referred to as “the country of tomorrow.” The only problem is that a country can only be called that for so long until people wonder when tomorrow will actually show up. It remains to be seen if Brazil can live up to its potential. Brazil has the goods to become a player – they are the 8th largest economy in the world, with a GDP nearing $3 trillion. Brazil is very high on other lists – unfortunately, they have the world’s highest net homicide rate per annum. They also have a propensity to routinely destroy their economy by electing socialists. Riding on a global wave of post-Brexit, post-Trump populism, Jair Bolsonaro was elected Brazil’s president in 2018 to address these problems.
