"Why has the United States prospered and Brazil has not? Both are giant countries, each dominating its half of the Americas, each amply endowed with people, land and natural resources. Each has remained united, with a strong sense of nationhood, after gaining independence from former colonial masters in Europe. But whereas the United States has become the world's economic superpower, its South American sibling is a social and economic under-achiever, the eternal 'country of the future' (as it calls itself ironically) whose future never arrives." (ECONOMIST) This article presents a survey of Brazil's government resources and examines whether Brazil's president Lula da Silva is capable of leading Brazil into prosperity.
