Abstract
Brazil enjoys human and natural
resources unavailable to most countries. Its assets include
a diverse, energetic population and a vast territory that
encompasses the world's largest rain forest and up to
one-fifth of the world's fresh water. Brazil is the
world's 9tth largest economy with a GDP of around $500
billion. But it is among the most unequal countries in the
world: the wealthiest 1 percent of Brazil's population
receives 10 percent of the country's income.
