- In 2014, our Great Decisions episode presented Brazil as a country full of hope, both as an economic powerhouse but also as a strong democracy with an important role to play in international affairs.
Fast-forward to today's corruption scandals that served as a catalyst for the dual political and economic crisis and the country is unrecognizable.
From 2014: "Brazil is the “B” in the acronym BRICS, five emerging economies once seen as soon-to-be superpowers. After economic troubles in the 1990s, Brazil has risen to new global prominence-drawing in more investment, working on global issues ranging from climate change to peacekeeping, and even hosting the 2016 Olympics."

Brazil has greatness to be one of the most powerful nations in the world, If we have a really inteligent government,able to run this country wisely and honestly.
BRAZIL WOULD BE ONE OF THE RICHEST COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD IF THERE WAS NOT A HIDDEN HAND STEALING ALL THE WEALTH .
Steve Minor Are we stupid because we are the friendliest people on the planet? If you go to Brazil one day. You will be very well received by the Brazilians. you will see smiles everywhere. and when you leave, go with the certainty that the Brazilian people are the happiest and most welcoming people in the world. we have no prejudice with any nationality. and any foreigner who visits our country is always welcome! unlike many other nationalities. who do not like foreigners in the country and are very arrogant with visitors. So if this is being "stupid". I prefer to be "stupid"
This hand is not that hidden: it is our cronical ineptitude of handling our own problems. And one of it's traces is our tendency to blame other nations and peoples for our own incompetence.
@Steve Minor If there is a stupid here,there must be you. Why don"t you Go back to school? you dump!
whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy why you have that perfill photo?
Did anyone else pick up that this was David Strathairn just by listening?
Excellent documentary!!!
I find Southern American as the land of the extreme. Especially their economic model. When the economy used the protectionist measure, it was extremely protectionist. When it adopted the open economy model, it is too open and too much privatization that it brings disastrous consequences. And some even experimented with Socialism and went too far too generous, that when the commodity boom ended, people dont have food to eat.
If only they tried Social Democracy ;(
@P4to D0l4n PSDB aren't social democracy, don't be kidding haha. Lula is closer to social democracy than anyone in the PSDB
ilove south america viva Brazilian

That guy didn't blink once...

At 1.17?
That guy ?
the Brazilian economy was a star model for all developing countries during the 60s and 70s. The Latin American Debt crisis did some damage to the region and in came those Brady Bonds. It looks partly American and partly like Kabul...especially those hill top terraced houses (FAVELA).
There are so many good music cultures of the favelas in most of them in Rocinha. The favelas most of Rio de Janeiro has a lot of the old school freestyle music back in the 1980’s and other old school funk. Teenage marriages and most are in the military to have families early age of 20 years old and the kids grew up with the old school freestyle music of the Latin capitals of New York City and Miami of the music cultures of the favelas in Rocinha. Kids grew up the parents music of the old school freestyle music and other old school music back in the day. People can wait to kids in their thirties now make children grew up healthier.
Interesting documentary.
As I see, there might me some propaganda in this content. But regardless... can somebody tell me more about the rellitiy?
- in which direction is now going Brazil? Is it now, in 2018, getting any better? is it worse or better that it was 10, or 20 years ago?
- is there really an increased presence of European and north American companies? how about the export, compared to several years ago?
- how about the "growing regional and international presence" mentioned in this documentary? any truth here?
Thank you for your answers!
Unfortunetly this is a leftist american propaganda over Brazil to influence the 2018 ellections. Left party that financed a lot of media in USA with public money by 2012 to 2016 (this doc years), but now some of them are getting in jail for billions in corruption here. One of many of its kind spread across youtube.
-As the right party won here, first thing Brazil is focused on economic regains of growth. Then foreign trade.
-We have no more decussions about military power, this is past. One question: Do military dictatiorships just hand over power back as the doc demonstrated? Nowhere on earth it happened. Cause it wasn't really military dictatorship. In 60's USSR was financing all types of guerrilla wars here in South America. The population had conciousness what communist wanted here was a worse dictatorship. Chile, Brazil and Peru were the only nation to stand agains USSR money here in SA. Guess witch are the bigger economies here in SA now?
-Yes there is an increase presence of Eropean and NA coo. Due to our focus on openning more the economy. But, depending on the market, it's a high cost of entrance, as some national companies already dominates. Citizens allways prefere more foreigh coo to decrease market prices here.
-About regional presence. Brazil had the left wing leadership when SA was rulled by the left. And now, on the more right wing gov on continent, also Brazil is leading.
-About international, our fellings are that we only do international presence on economics and ecological topics.
@@laureane5454Thank you very much for your comment! 👍
Umm, the opening image of soccer fans celebrating is not from Brazil. Those are Colombians.
This hasn't aged well.
Hahahahahhahahahahahahahah
@@FiasaPower
None of this history sht ages well
Brasil has done well
They are outsiders
And they know. How to party.
As a Brazilian expat for the past 20 years and counting , Brazil is far from going to the right direction , is like they give one step forward and 3 steps back , corruption have always slowed down growth and progression , it's 2021 and Brazilian government is one of the most corrupts in the world , shown on the video you see a lot of protestants wearing red colored clothes and flags as a sign of socialism , PT ( worker party) was the most corrupt party ever that done a lot of embezzlement and money laundering , most of our people are very patriotic and we want to grow economically and become a superpowers of the world , but rampant corruption is the biggest impediment ahead of us , we're still dreamers that one day we can go back home to a more prosperous place
No she didn’t! But “Brazil is back Baby!”
brazil would fail if there wasn't investment. The US will always try to stabilize the Americas, but this may not be at the benefit of south America and the rest of the world. This will culminate in Mexico becoming a huge power and brazil might have to take a back seat. it'll be power but will clash with Argentina
It's all over Latin America included mexico
i'm brazilian and i've so disappointed about my country.We have high tax rates, no free market, big government, high corruption rates , high poverty rates, high violence rates, political instability ,bad income distribution,low income,high illiteracy rates,low education level,inefficient public transport,low technology,political bureaucracy,lack of public safety...
I think seriously to leave my country and look for a better place to live!
julliano santos silva Are you a jew?
Hue hue hue hue hue
And in 2017 they're right back to where they started. LOL@Brazil.
We re a great country. This is temporary. Unfortunately our leaders are fuckers and traitors!
Better be glad it's not one of the " most powerful countries in the world"~ sarcasm voice...
Because , those countries have more problems. Better to be smaller or more free but have plenty industry food rich people tourism etc
But not a player on the world stage
That stuff is evil.
Better to be an outsider
But you can do anything there. Make money and be successful
want to fix South America? easy , destory sth called Foro de Sao Paulo
Shut up ur idiot... you have no idea what you are talking about
Not that easy. Our problems surpass by far the Foro de São Paulo.
@@FiasaPower
What is that ?
Has lot of poverty in Brasil ..
They have enough food ?
Jobs?
@@escstudios2068 there are many problems, even though we have plenty of natural resources, this doesn't benefit large sectors of society, but the main problem is the lack of education. Solid, basic education. This is a perverse mechanism of poverty maintenance and reproduction, and can't be reverted in the short term. It takes generations to fix such an issue.
hi, im nigérian, bye
