Brazil is currently the 9th largest economy in the world, according to the International Monetary Fund.
This means that if the nation does make the jump from developing to developed, it could rival economic superpowers like Germany, Japan, or the United Kingdom.
And as crazy as it may sound, it may become an economy that rivals the USA or China.

As a brazilian I must say that your arguments are pretty much right but you used worng informations. Much of the brazilian social programs were there before Lula got electe, they were implemented in the 1988 Constitution. We were very dependent on commodities prices but never on oil prices in an specific way. And the retirement age didn't went up form 48 to 65, it was 61 for the majority of workes, only people that worked on very dangerous job (like in nuclear power plants or underground mining) retire before the 50s.

@@viniciusmaia9568 As a Brazilian, I have to concur with this, although for some time you could retire with a 30 years of work contribution, (so effectively, you could retire at 48 if you began working every single day of your life since you turn 18), only a few people were actually able to do so, mostly politicians who have guaranteed employment for multiple years. Furthermore, the jungle is only present in the North, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Brasilia are all well connected, but Manaus and Brasilia? not so much

yes and no. Education itself is useless. You need, as the video says, "Innovation", with in order need (but is not limited to) education. mostly the difference is: Can you apply an educated workforce in the private sector without governmental support? Can you create aggregated value for your endeavor? In the end, Brazil has a well enough educated workforce, but juridical insecurity and complex fiscal system kind is a far worse issue to deal with.

Brazil have at least Five distinct types os biome: Amazon Rainforest: (the city i was born is in the middle of it “Manaus”) Cerrado: its a Savannah like biomes, ironically is where we have the Grazing farms and Soybeans so as many other kinds of Farms, it is located in the Country heartland Caatinga: its a Semi-desert type biome its concentrated in interior of a Northeastern Region, its also where the bad Indicators are usually found. Mata Atlântica: its Semi-deciduous Forest located in the Southeast and part of south Brazil, ironically is the mostly damaged and almost extinct, cuz of Rapid Development of the region. Pampas: is a Plain region at the mostly southern tip of the country almost near the border with Argentina and Uruguay, is a region similar to the Great Plains in US&Canada but with a milder climate, its where you can find some farms for temperate and subtropical climate and some Grazing too. Brazil indeed have a diverse geography and climate but that doesn’t necessarily help much without a Proper and develop infrastructure Brazil have a LONG WAY! To become a Great power in all the aspects.

12:03 The entire nation is NOT covered in the Amazon forest. The Amazon forest is in the north west region which is the least densely populated region. There are other ecoregions in more populated areas like Cerrado, Caatinga and of course the Atlantic Forest. The most productive area for agro business sits in the Cerrado region which is a savanna type ecoregion and is in a huge Plateau in central Brasil, perfect for railway. It is geographically challenging to pass through the coast and get to the ports but nothing that good planning couldn’t fix. Great video though! Thanks for posting about Brazil, hopefully we will overcome our challenges and become a thriving developed nation that the people deserve.

"The entire country being covered by the Amazon Rainforest" Dude, your geography is WAY off... There are 5 major biomes in Brazil, and the Amazon is in fact the largest one, but it only covers the northern and north-western part of the country. The problem with logistics and infrastructure in Brazil has always been political. Just for comparison, Japan has more railroads than Brazil and must be like 15x smaller...Politicians down here think themselves royalty and hardly ever do what they were elected to do... Plus all the corruption and impunity that goes along with it.

5:11 - Actually, most people in Brazil could not retire at 48 years old before the new changes that came with Bolsonaro. There was a minimum age of 55 for males and 50 for females plus 30 years of contribution for males and 25 for females, in general lines retiring at 48 was impossible. The thing with Bolsonaro is that he followed his economics minister (Paulo Guedes) advice and raised it to 65 for males and 60 for females, he made other changes too but most people were pissed because of that. Imagine being 54 Big Oof. However, in the 90s, there was no minimum age and you only needed 30 years of contribution for males and 25 for females. Thus it was possible to retire at 48 if you started paying at age 18 and you were male or 43 if you are female. many people starter to pay even before 18 just to retire even sooner, but even in the 2000s there were rules that established minimum age to retire. It was no longer possible as a general rule to retire at 48, but could be done at 48 or even sooner by clearing some special conditions that I believe are in place to this day.

Considering that 48% of all women loose their jobs up to 12 months after giving birth, and have a hard time repositioning themselves afterwards, I consider 5 years difference too few. Should be more. And, women retiring earlier could also help more carrying on their grandchildren too, so that the mother's didn't need to loose their jobs to take care of their kids.

The Amazon rainforest does not cover the whole country, not even half of it. This is an extremely wrong misconception. The forest barely touches the productive regions, so doens't really interfere with most of the economy. Although the forest area is bigger than the EU, "only" 60% of it is in Brazil, and the country itself is much larger. Most Brazilians will never come close to the forest.

And the rest just superficial information that could be true to all emergent countrys. He also said that Jair Bolsonaro has a radical economic view, what doesn't make any sense because he was a comporativist and statist his entire life and suddenly became more aligned to the liberal view, what is far from radical in the economic sense.

As a Brasilian who's been watching the channel since the early videos I feel that your work here was pretty poor. Sorry to say that, its a great channel overall that I'll keep watching, sure. I'd suggest a makeover for this video with corrections about the geography as already pointed and especially important considering the main industries. Brasil has lots of plain arable lands in its center region and it is source to a lot of animal protein on the international market, also grains. On a "techier" side, WEG, a company rooted in the south of Brasil is one of the largest in their field of industrial transformers and electric motors, for example. Or Embraer, a major player in the executive jet sector. But the biggest omission has to be the massive economic turnaround in the 90's after the implementation of "Plano Real" which not only controlled the insane inflation the country suffered during the 80's (would be interesting to add all the different currencies we had) and was the bedrock that allowed for the 2000's growth. On an "extra" note, maybe for the country rating system, it would be interesting to make a one video revisiting previously analysed countries and rating them all, so the list would make a bit more sense.

The way he mentions President Lula as the big leap towards democracy and stability after the Military Dictatorship made me raise an eyebrow. Not only so much stuff happened between these two events (the end of the dictatorship and the election of Lula), but Lula's government was so corrupt you could argue the country would be better without it, despite the growth. The decision of current president Bolsonaro to raise the minimum age for retirement is also completely wrong. It wasn't his decision, it was a reform that multiple previous governments already tried to push, brought up by the country's collapsing federal retirement system that is way too much complicated of a topic to resume it as "Some weird thing the current president did". E isso são so alguns exemplos. Deu a impressão que a pesquisa dele se resumiu em artigos aleatórios do The Guardian sobre o Brasil.

You're right to point out the nuance with regards to how much the rainforest actually covers, but with regards to your point about economically and population wise. The large dense and environmentally important forested areas limit where populations and industries can thrive. You pointing out that those things mainly exist outside the forest is proof of EE's point. Doesn't mean individual Brazilians have to trek through forests on a frequent basis, but as a NATION, it has a lot less space and ways of establishing large scale infrastructure than it would appear from just looking at how big it is

One of the very few great advantages of Brazil is its geography. Massive extensions of arable land, a country not much covered by mountains, extensive coastline etc. The Amazon is a relatively remote area of the country that does not interfere with the country's development. Rio de Janeiro, shown in the video, is an unique city with its granite peaks, but that's the only major city in Brazil that looks like that. São Paulo, the largest city in the Southern hemisphere, is fairly flat. So are most Brazilian capitals.

I disagree. São Paulo is indeed flat, but it has a gigantic mountian range separating São Paulo and it's nearest port in Santos. Another huge mountain range separates São Paulo and Rio as well. ANOTHER mountain range separates Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais... That's what he means in the video. It makes freight costs get more expensive, same for Infrastructure construction too, like railways. The center-western region is flat, though... But it's awfully far away from any port, be it to the Atlantic or the Pacific.

@@sganzerlag The Amazon is not even productive land. It makes no sense to cut it down and replace it with factories, as there is much more convenient land to do that on already. So your comment about "industrializing" by clearcutting the Amazon makes no sense. Most often, when people have cut down part of the Amazon, they have tried to farm on it. But the soils in the Amazon are some of the worst in the entire world. Cutting down the rainforest to farm is a terrible idea. The farms will not last long on that soil. There are other ways to make money off the Amazon that do not harm it much. I'm not sure if it's common in Brazil, but other countries that control part of the Amazon have growing ecotourism industries. This is a sustainable industry that will actually help your people make money in the long run, rather than destroying one of the natural wonders of the world for a few years of income. There is no justification for clearcutting the Amazon other than ignorance. It will never come back, and, moral arguments aside, the land will be less useful if the rainforest is cut down.

Brazilian here o/ Just a little, small correction: the military regime in Brazil lasted until 1985, not 2002, when Lula was elected. To make a long story short, during the military regime, we had direct elections for Congress, the Senate and Small towns, while the major elections - for large cities, Governors - were appointed by the President. The President was elected indirectly by Congress. It was on the election of 1985 that congress, then having formed a majority against the regime on the previous year, elected Tancredo Neves president, ending the military period. Also about Brazil's economic growth, it was not during the 2002-2007 boom that it grew the most, but during the so called "Economic Miracle" of the 1970s, where we came from around the 50th world economy to around the 13th world economy. Both growth periods were heavily sustained by debt though, and the former didn't even have a boom in education like the boom of the 1970s, where our population turned from rural to urban.

As a Brazilian innovation and education enthusiast I can say it "sounds" accurate, the videos (maybe free stock) were a little misleading. I'd add the educational polarization. More than wanting innovation around here, I want better schools, mostly of the schooling follows the French model, reactive models, teacher explains and students dare to ask if it will be on the tests, we are taught to follow orders, learn, be graded and work without thinking much. I lived in Finland 15 years ago and there I learned that the responsibility of the students in learning is bigger than than the teacher teaching. I mean the students need be more responsible instead of flocking in left or right we as nation should focus on moving forward. And to my fellow Brazilians a simple comment: se a gente continuar polarizado pra tudo cheio de mimimi como se fosse torcedor de time de futebol a gente só vai se frustar. Não existe política ou político salvador da pátria. Se você tá insatisfeito/a com alguma coisa ataque a política onde dói neles, votando consciente e não mandando textão e bloqueando quem discorda e amando quem concorda. Saia da bolha!

The minimum wages were artificially increased via public policies, above inflation. Inflation plus economic growth. Yet it may have lifted people out of poverty and provided them with purchasing power, it was accompanied by a very high payroll tax, thus an added inflationary pressure. Brazil also enjoyed much of its growth in the 2000’s commodity boom, which meant we had the chance to perform several reforms, infrastructure, social security... and we busted it. And widespread corruption, overvalued contracts for projects, of which many are still incomplete, halted.

That requires large infrastructure investments which might be tricky. There is also a large amount of farmland but that also required large investments into improving soil quality. That also lowers the cost-efficiency of the economy. In other words, Brazil has huge potential but it has not received many advantages for free unlike for example USA.

There's a major problem in Brazil: It needs tax reform, the worse way. The bureaucracy to file taxes in Brazil is insane. Businesses need to hire qualified professionals to do it, companies make a living out of it. It changes all the time, there's no consistency. The worse taxation in the country is to hire someone, as a business owner here I can attest to it. If you hire someone you pay the same amount of the employee's salary to the government. It's ridiculous, it stunts growth, you can't pay employees well. Also many companies try to hire someone without signing papers to avoid this. The employee then sues the place later, Brazil is the leading nation in the world for worker's rights cases. Also, unions rule Brazil, Lula made sure of it, it is very hard to employ anyone as unions push for annual collective raises no matter how the economy is doing. So there's little incentive for hard work, as your raise will be the same as everyone else's because it will be whatever the union mandated. There are over 17000 unions in Brazil as they make a lot of money with little work. If after 6 months employed an employee wants out, he can purposely create problems at work & demand to let go - he will not quit. Because Brazilian legislature has the employer pay a huge fine for letting go anyone short of that employee killing someone. There are cases that the employee steals from the company caught on camera but the employer still has to pay compensation when it fires the employee. It has always been tough to be an employer in Brazil, it got much worse with Lula, President Temer improved the situation a little fighting the unions. (Employees were mandated to contribute to their unions, whether they wanted or not) But that holds back growth in Brazil, nobody wants to open a business anymore, it's too much of a risk. Government jobs are the highest paid in the world, smart people study to be able to find a government job & not produce anything for the country.

Being someone from the States and that now lives in Brazil, I can accurately say the Brazilian government is more interested in Social Welfare. It spends a bit less than 40% if GDP in social programs (near to what France spends). They have free healthcare, free education, strict workers rights (on par with European standards), and very generous tax and regulatory treatment for small business. The country is firmly set up to support "the little guy", not big business. Like in most of Latin America, it's encouraged to start a business and/or export goods and services. Those that think Brazil is just a simple failure is someone that doesn't understand that the American growth obsession isn't a common system in the world. Brazil is poor, yes, but the economic system reflects Brazilian values instead of the demands of big business.

I’d like to highlight the instability “thing here” in Brazil. We had coups or drastics changes in governments in: 1889, 1930, 1964, 1985, 1992, 2015, and maybe an impeachment of the current leader is on the way. Other thing is our ever-long battle with inflation and the number of currencies that we had in the XXI century. Since the forties, we had eight diffrente currencies. Brazil is the country of disparities of labor as well: Here the Employer squeezes the most of the employee, but the employee make the uses of every single knack of possibilities for revenge. It is a system of mutual distrust. And the level of polarization here is absurd, even for American’s standard. Our current crazy leader was elected because the antagonized the anti “ workers party” movement, which looted the country for years. We had two majors booms in our 50 years, one with the “military junta” in the 70s. They had a nationalist development point of view, we had some good years. However, the growth came at a cost of international debt, the oil crash of the Middle East left us indebted and with a soaring inflation. The second came with the former Lula, he was a luck guy. He was in the office at the time China was buying the world (of commodities), the state had a surplus in revenue. Many cases of corruption happened in that era but as the economy was good people did not really care.

That's undeniable... but brazil has many (i said MANY) other landscapes... we have a swampy area in the heart of the country, bordering paraguay, we have a Savannah, where our capital is, we have a semi-arid region in the nortwest portion of country. Huge plains in the xtreme south, there are places where you can find snow... and all you say is: it is entirely covered by the amazon rainforest... Our geography is plagued because our population (which is far away from the amazon) is locates close to rivers that goes to the other side of the continent (to Buenos aires) our coasts have mountains that pushes waters into the continent, denying us the cheapest way of goods transportation. On the places where the rivers are navigable and don't go away from our borders, simply there is no one living there (which is the amazon rainforest).

Also our really poor education system leading a lack of qualified workers, our way-too-generous-for-a-developing-country social security system, and all the factors that make the cost of doing business crazy high in Brazil such as: extremely high bureaucracy, high tax rates, inefficient public institutions, high interest rates, terrible security and crime rates, etc. Not to mention the first picture is Barcelona not Rio, and Brazil is far from being "entirely covered by the rain forest"... it's really just the north.

I'm a longtime fan of the channel and as a fellow Brazilian soon-to-be economist, I think your video is really well made and is a really good guide to the problems that we face as a country. The only two things that I would correct though is the quote "the entire nation being covered by the Amazon rainforest" (12:03) which is wrong since the forest "only" takes 60% of our territory and the explanation that our economy is geographically segmented because of it, sure I can agree that the topography of Brazil and its vegetation could have imposed for a long time a limit to inwards development and expansion, but to a certain degree this can also be explained by a lack of incentives/initiatives from the government to do so. Brazil is hugely underdeveloped in terms of infrastructure, especially railway wise, and if we have some if any population development beyond of the southeast coast is because of a gold rush in the 1700s, but differently from America, where the gold was on the other side of the country, our gold was 400km (250 miles) give or take from the capital and most populated center at the time, now second, Rio de Janeiro.

Nice video, but it should have started with the importance of the “Real” currency in the stabilization of the economy. Lula capitalized on that prosperity, which started with the previous president, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, FHC. Also the first democratic president in Brazil’s recent history was Collor, followed by Itamar Franco, FHC, and then Lula. Bit misleading starting with Lula and skipping what was done previously.

Sorry, but you couldn't be more wrong. The Amazon rainforest is nowhere near the industrialized part of the country (except Manaus). There is absolutely no forest density and mountains making it hard to navigate from the south to the northeast

Brazilian people are I guess the only specimen in the world of public education that doesnt read the academic works and papers made by researches that foster inovation, but rather consumes far-right videos and tweets to believe that real education means drugs and crime. A country like this will for ever remain underdeveloped. The ideology to classify everythig as ideology and only oneself is right. The rhetoric of arrogance.

Lot's of people complaining that he got the Amazon forest thing wrong, and that's fair, but it wasn't the crux of his point. The high variations in elevation make it hard to connect the nation to the coast using freight trains, which is a big issue when you are trying to export commodities in low-margin markets. And saying that the Amazon "only covers the northern region" is missing the point. That's still a *massive* swat of land that we can't properly develop, and that is hard to cross, making land-based commerce with our neighbors much harder. It is still better to have the forest than not having it, but it does pose practical challenges. And aside from that one issue, this video is freaking solid. It even covered the fact that Brazil's democracy is only 40 years old, which is something I constantly have to explain to college students here. I don't know how much people know in other regions, but it's shocking how little national history I actually learned growing up in Nordeste.

@@aliefr2984 Likely Indonesia. Indonesia is country where hyperbolic, often politicized, negative economic view is being held despite the contrary. They think Indonesia looks like Venezuela, while in reality Indonesia is far cry from obsessive oil dependence, tyrannical and hostile government as Venezuela has. Funnily enough the newest 2019 World Bank data shows Indonesia's per capita GDP is now on upper-middle class. Not to mention booming youth population which mean more workforce needed by factories. In other hand, Pakistan and India needs more time to advance to upper-mid income; and Malaysia is reportedly stuck on upper middle-income zone as the earliest; but their economic prospect are far optimistic, at least on netizen sense, than Indonesia.
