How did Brazil become the strongest country in Latin America and one of the largest economies in the world? What went so right?
>strongest country................................................................in Latin America
Multicuturalism and "multiracialism" are the only answer. These two things will lead us to the stars.
>>223941091Same strategy as India: focus on quantity, not quality (aka just breed)
>>223941268Have you ever been to a favela? You know nothing about Brazil. Also, the favelas and violence you're imagining only exist in Rio de Janeiro.
>>223941091Paraguay is literally growing faster than us economically.Nobody cares for military power (Milei will probably make Argentina stronger than us in some years anyway)
>>223941091brazil isn't latam o algo
>>223941382>Have you ever been to a favela?kinda? Ive been to a few sketchy brazilian hoods in Foz do Iguasu and Rio
>>223941384>Paraguay is literally growing faster than us economically.Paraguai é um lixo. Se acha aquele país tão bom assim, se muda para lá.>Nobody cares for military power (Milei will probably make Argentina stronger than us in some years anyway)You must be trolling, kek.

>>223941091They're poorer than Mexico and Puerto Rico per capita with less cultural impact than either..
>>223942595>with less cultural impact than either..They make "phonk", the shittiest musical genre known to mankind
Sheer numbers, big landmass and huge population
>>223942595Mexico and Puerto Rico are american rotting appendixes. That's why they're a bit relevant.
>>223941384Paraguai tem índices nordestinos de desenvolvimento
>>223941091brazil isn't in latin americathe strongest latin american country is either colombia, mexico or argentina
Salvador, Bahia, in Brazil, is widely referred to as the blackest city in the world outside of Africa. Over 80% of its population identifies as Black or mixed-race (Afro-Brazilian). This status stems from the transatlantic slave trade, making the city a central hub for African diaspora culture
>>223944073>brazil isn't in latin americaIt is.
>>223941091>230 million "people">economy as big as canada This country is a shithole. In just a few years, Mexico will surpass us in every single metric. They've even limited weekly work hours to 40, while most people in this country are forced to work from 8:00 to 18:00, despite 20 years of left wing government. also this >>223941131
>>223946388Darjeeling would not approve of this post.
>>223946388>They've even limited weekly work hours to 40It's easier to do that there because they don't have our trash bureaucracy that makes it more expensive to employ people. You don't solve these complicated issues just by creating a new law, that would be the same as creating a law to change how GDP is calculated so we can see it raising on the news, or creating more money to try to generate wealth. Progress doesn't work that way and it was a good thing that the law prohibiting more than 40h of work didn't progress.
>>223946491>that would be the same as creating a law to change how GDP is calculated so we can see it raising on the news
>>223946508Okay, it wasn't a good analogy and I realized it after I posted but you still got my point (or so I believe).
>>223946562I didn't actually. We work more hours than frenchman did back in 1920. I can't see how we can improve this issue without just passing a law. What could go wrong? our great """economy"""""""" collapse?
Hard working mentality combined with high intellect.
>>223942595Only true if by "cultural impact" you mean Bad Bunny and tacos, which you probably do, since that's the kind of "culture" you consoom.
>>223941091Bunda
>>223946388Mexico will never create Bossa Nova and MBPDon't act like your country isn't something to be proud ofhttps://youtu.be/tlp8iY4g--4
>>223947290Bossa Nova is long dead, our "music" scene now is literally financed by cartels. Also MPB > Bossa Nova
>>223941091We still have better quality of life :)
>>223941480>Paraguai é um lixo. Se acha aquele país tão bom assim, se muda para lá.That butthurt. KEK!

>>223941091BBC and Bunda reserves
>>223946623>We work more hours than frenchman did back in 1920Ad passiones. I never said that working more than 40h was a good thing.>What could go wrong? our great """economy"""""""" collapse?Why do you think that brazilians work more hours than folks from other countries with our same level of development? Would that be just because employers hate us especially? Well, I'm not any professional but here goes what I learned about this topic>bureaucracyGiven the fact that we're an highly bureaucratic country, the cost within the production chain is high than many other places. Entrepreneurs want profit, so they're going to do whatever they can to achieve so. Since this bureaucracy (and here I include CLT and minimum wage, between many other things), as the owner of a business of cheap services, it's to be expected that you're going to increase the hours that your employee works in order to get profit at the same time that you manage to pay the costs of production (something important to notice here is that, since the salary of someone is actually determined by the market, some people unfortunately don't have habilities that would make them pay all the costs of their employment + the profit wanted in normal hours of work, or in the traditional CLT model).>educationBy the law of offer and demand, if there's too much of something, its value will decrease. There too many incapacitated people (or people whose capacitation aren't required by the brazilian economy, be it because we are a shit country to such sectors to start business here or not). So we get in a situation where in relation to how many unqualified people are around the country, there's a lack of demand, making incapacitated workers a cheap good and encouraging giving bad conditions to the emplyees. After all, they don't really have options, do they?
>>223946623>>223952542>cost of lifeSometimes minimum wage is barely enough for some people to keep living, so they need to work more. This could be improved by lowering taxes and many things that I can't think of now.In summary, the economy wouldn't collapse but informality would increase and Brazil would become a country where it's less attractive to become a employer than to just put your money on a random investment title, and also move away possible foreigner companies.I may also remember you that my knowledge comes from osmosis and probably there's more problems that could be approached here.Pic unrelated.
>>223952542>There are too many incapacitated people>whose capacitation isn'tfixed
>>223952610>there are more problems
>>223941091Nothing went right, none of those things matter if you can't walk on the streets without worrying about crossing paths with a thieving murderous subhuman.
>>223941091Well, Brazil is a big country. Besides, having a big economy doesn't mean that much if the country is extremely unequal, and that applies to pretty much all latinamerican countries.
realistically they should be doing a lot better, seems they did like 0 investment in tech and R&D other than planes
They make their own TVs and agricultural machinery too, I think.
