    Brazil waking up and making big moves has been on everyone's bingo card since the 1970s. It still hasn't happened, and everyone is disappointed about it. In the same vein, people have been talking about Japan completely collapsing since the late 1990s, and again, it has still, somehow, not happened.

    Brazilian ex-pat here.
    Sadly it won’t.
    Brazil lost its demographic window in the last two decades and will become old way before it gets any richer. It now has a below replacement fertility rate for the first time and a deficit to GDP rate is similar to that of a developed nation.
    It managed to scape the hyperinflation of the 80s only to raise taxation enormously in the 90s. The commodities boom of the 2000s made politicians increase government spending like there would be no tomorrow. When the downturn arrived in the 2010s, the high ranking bureaucrats fought tooth and nail against any reform of government expenditure and even raised their own salaries and benefits while the population suffered with inflation not seem in decades.
    Brazil is a semi-elected managerial oligarchy right now, with a political / bureaucratic caste detached from the reality of their population (it has one of the largest salary ratio between public/private sector in the West).
    Brazil became too politically divided to elect a reformist candidate like it just happened in Argentina. And even if they did elect a Xavier Milei equivalent, the establishment is too much entrenched to be removed as quickly, it would take multiple successive terms to do it (and Latin American electorates aren’t famous for being patient and tend to flip after a couple of cycles).
    I am sad to say that Brazil’s future will never arrive and it will be crumble under the weight of its own state as it earns for a time when it could just coast on high commodities prices.

      It might be controversial, but I don't think public salaries are too high in Brazil, but the private sector pays terribly. The highest ranking salary you can get in the public sector normally is somewhere less than 80,000 (when you deduct taxes) dollars annually, but 40,000 is already a gigantic salary. The private sector, on the other hand, pays at best 10,000 for someone with a good degree and recommendations. Only very old people and doctors can make the same amount as a high-ranking public sector employer can.
      It's also the case that Brazilians aren't good workers or business man, middle-class Brazilians have a lot of opportunities to do so, but they mostly spend their entire lives being paid by their parents to succeed, which leads to most liberal professions being filled with useless people.

    No... I lived there for 10 years and I even own stock of Brazilian companies.
    Brazil is dysfunctional, its economy is unbalanced and inefficient, the government is incompetent and populism and corruption is what drives the voter's mind just like other Latin American countries.
    They are doing great precisely because of high margin commodities, the size of the arable land and China insane consumption of resources.
    But their foreign policy is horrible.... They were not able to handle the Haiti Peacekeeping mission and their alliance with the Venezuelan dictatorship has provoked the biggest refugee crisis in the continent.
    And I am not even mentioning the corruption schemes involved with Odebrecht that destroyed the stability of the region (especially in Peru and Venezuela)
    It's a great country in matters of culture and richness, but doomed by the lack of discipline and consistency of its population and the corrupt government (compared with the rest of Latin America, they are still good)
    Just as an example of the wasted potential... South Korea was poorer than Brazil in the 80s, but today South Korea has even a train bullet system, meanwhile in Brazil there is no railway that connects the two biggest Brazilian cities.

    Question I have is what does 'awaken' mean and why does Brazil need to?
    I'm guessing 'awaken' means becoming a world beating 'great' power contending in geopolitical contest.
    Historically, a great power arises out of generational struggle(s) against an existential threat which requires collective action by its population. Once the threat is resolved, the legacy (culture and traditions) of this struggle carries the nation into regional/world power status.
    However, Brazil does not face any existential threats from its neighbors or faraway foreign powers. So I don't see Brazil 'awakening' any time soon, though I cannot rule out possibility of a unique historical anomaly of Brazil 'awakening' without this external stimulus.
    The only thing I can think of that will push Brazilians into collective action in the near future is perhaps some kind of ecological disaster stemming from climate change. Only time will tell.

    Brazil has three regions socially and economically distinct. South and South East are relatively developed with higher GDP and HDI and these characteristics led these states to pay more taxes to the federal government. The North East is lower in GDP and HDI and there are no navigable rivers that allows them to economically make trade to other parts of the country. Furthermore, it is separated from other parts of the country by a biome called Cerrado, the most biodiverse savanna on the planet but with a land very difficult for human beings. The last region is Amazon basin. The largest tropical forest on the planet and corresponds 48% of the whole country. Very low HDI and GDP and lacks in many basic aspects, for instance there are people that has no basic sanitation and no drinking water. All these three geographical regions make political desires from the population very different and it causes division in the parliament to make policies in pro of the country and also it is a trigger for populist politicians to get into power and make false promises to the people.
