Fighting for a Seat at the Table - Brazil
8 January 2001
For more than a decade Brazil has opened itself to the global economy. Yet still the richest ten per cent of its people take half the nation's income while the poorest 40 per cent live on less than two dollars a day. The measures Brazil has taken to save its currency -- steps that have thus far satisfied fast-moving global markets -- are hurting the poor and the lower middle class. What's happening in Brazil graphically poses the question of whether global economic pressures exact too high a cost in societies that are already among the most unequal in the world...

Doing The Right Thing - Brazil
February 2001
Porto Alegre - capital of Brazil's southernmost state of Rio Grande do Sul - was once a run-of-the mill, dirty, Brazilian port city. With the fastest growing economy in Brazil, the state of Rio Grande do Sul attracts immigrants from many other poorer regions of the country who come in search of work and a better future. The state has a history of fierce independence, including a breakaway movement to form a separate nation.

Brazil. It conjures up images of carnival, the beaches of Rio, The Girl From Ipanema, and the samba.

David Brown, Simon Marks, Kristin McHugh, and Keith Porter will talk about "Brazil Rising," a new radio documentary that takes listeners on a personal journey across the country, exploring Brazil's view of itself, its...

Brazil and the Energy of Tomorrow
I sat down with Lou Ann Hammond, publisher of carlist.com to discuss the latest energy-related news coming out of Brazil. The South American country has virtually eliminated oil imports as they've built their entire economy on home-grown ethanol — thanks in no small part to a tropical climate that's as conducive to sugar cane plantations as it is to Carnaval.

Geraldo da Souza was sacked by his employers, Ford Brazil, on December 22, 1998, along with two thousand fellow workers at Ford's Sao Paulo car plant.

India to surpass US economy
New Delhi, March 08(ANI): According to a report by Price Waterhouse Coopers there could be a tectonic shift in the global economic centre of gravity. The size of India's economy would grow to 90 per cent of that of the United States by 2050 and China would become even bigger than the world's current largest economy. The report titled 'The World in 2050: Beyond the BRICs', says that long-term prospects for China, India and other E7 economies like Brazil, Mexico, Russia, Indonesia and Turkey are still upbeat, but an additional 13 emerging economies also have the potential to grow faster.

Brasilia, the capital of Brazil
Brasilia was built to be Brazil's new capital city. The idea was to transfer the federal capital of Brazil from the coast to midwestern / interior of the country. Brazil had had two capital cities before that: Rio de Janeiro and Salvador da Bahia. By transferring the capital city to the interior, the government intended to help to populate that area of the county. People from all over the country were hired to build the city, but especially those from the Northeast region of Brazil. Brasilia is known, internationally, for having applied the principles established in the Athens Charter of 1933.
President Juscelino Kubitschek ordered the construction of Brasília, fulfilling an article of the country's constitution stating that the capital should be moved from Rio de Janeiro to a place...
