Opis

The early 21st Century saw a boom in Brazil’s economy. Commodities had a large part to play, including bananas, sugar and soybeans, but also processed food, gasoline and medium sized airplanes. This book argues it is the adoption of leftist economic policies and changes made by Lula’s government which are key to explaining recent Brazilian growth.
