Brazil's future has never been brighter. Brazil has great potential but always will fall short of that potential. Brazil would benefit from becoming more international in it's business relationships. Brazil would be better off without foreign demands for reform. International pressure will help Brazil to make difficult but necessary choices.
Brazil risks serious setbacks and instability if it fails to proceed with reform.
Brazil is highly vulnerable to international economic and financial disruptions. Brazil's economy will be more stable in the future. Brazil will soon recover from it's recession. Economic growth is the best way to deal with problems of poverty and inequality. Brazil needs to do more to help with social problems now, even if that results in slower growth.
