Out of Development?

Synopsis: Brazil is rapidly becoming an industrial powr. Although its gross domestic product makes it the eighth most powerful economy in the world, two thirds of its people live below the poverty line, receiving only half or less of the statutory miinimum wage. Brazil is the world’s second largest agricultural exporter after the USA, yet malnutrition causes almost seven out of ten deaths among children under the ages of five. Discusses why a country with so much potential seems to have excluded the majority of the population.
