Filipino are bright and strong if their international politics not to be pupped of US.. He must do it the independent of their own politics and not take sides to the Western Politics or eastern..(they do their own independent politics) And the key to strengthen the economy is you must collaborate with your ASEAN country because your close neighboorhood countries is the key of economies like EU do than the far like latin america just for the Catholics religion?? Its been better to Revive you ancient and own culture and united and diversity anf tolerance all religion like Indonesia do.. The key iS THE OWN LOCAL CULTURE IS THE KEY OF YOUR IDENTITY WHEREVER YOU LIVE YOUR CULTURE MUST BE STRONG AND NOT GET PUPPED OF US CULTURES! i hope your elections is goes well and make the phillipines great again and the poverty is decreased in next years... You must do collaborate with ASEAN and EAST ASIAN TIGER ECONOMY for sure!! Im indonesia and i support your election without judge the background of Bong bong alias Ferdinand Marcos.. I hope your country to be better and not to be pupped of US Propaganda's!! Salamat po and god blesss

I'm Brazilian and I hate this sentence"Brazil is the country of the future" We don't want Brazil to become a superpower, we just want Brazil to be a developed country.
Being a power is also a necessity bcz only if you have power you won't be exploited....look at India of ancient times..,it was consisting of 33% of world's GDP in ancient times...much more developed than current developed nations & still colonised & harassed almost for 200 years +...so don't underestimate strength....power is as necessary as wealth....look at lybia before Gaddafi...it was like heaven with free health care,free education,subsidies etc...why it got ruined despite being developed!!!just because it wanted more upliftment for its people which wasn't beneficial for others....& It got attacked bcz of lack of nukes... so don't make a mistake of underestimating military might... being a power doesn't always mean bullying others...but you need to be a great power just to protect your interests
Por isso nem Lula nem bolsonaro este ano. Não adianta elegermos os mesmos e esperarmos por mudanças, olha a notícia que sai de nosso país. Era para ser coisa boa, porém só sai coisa ruim.
Superpowers are generally regarded as international hegemonies. The US is the only extant superpower and China is the only emerging power which will probably become a superpower. The rest of the world lags either in economic strength, domestic production, or military capability. Japan, Germany, the UK and France would be considered “great powers”.
Exactly when he said that superpowers have influence and at the same time mentioned countries like Japan and South korea i knew the definition of superpower isn't clear in his own mind, i don't remember the last time these countries had a different pov on an international issue that didn't match what the US said

@@madruga2112 I'm 100% with you on this one. I think it's just ridiculous to have a chauvinistic approach to this or treat a country as if it was a mother/father figure. On the other hand, if you're a decent person I think it's totally ok to be proud of the culture/values you grew up in, not merely for a flag nor power.
I just want to grab the attention to one factor: yes, wealth inequality is rampant in Brazil, but it’s more spatial than its seems to indicate through cities like São Paulo and Rio. In more inland regions of southeast and south Brazil there are very nice regions to live like south of Minas Gerais, Paraná state, Santa Catarina state, etc. while towards regions more to the north there is a lot of poverty.
@M E Yeah but i dont know, im not bragging because i didnt DO it, but in my region at least every family has 2 cars, big house, public health works great. Medium sized and small towns are great. But state capitals and coastal cities will always be riddled with poverty.
Although uptin didn’t lie, he seems to think that most if not all of Brazil is like São Paulo. That would be the same as thinking all of the USA is like New York or Los Angeles. Most of Brazil doesn’t have favelas. Many major cities in Brazil in the southern region don’t have the homelessness and wealth gap that São Paulo does.
I live in the Southern Region and we do have a LOT of people living on the streets and all that stuff. Maybe we don't have favelas like in Rio or São Paulo, but poverty definitely exists here.
@@nereud.1027 Well you sure are wrong, because Southern Brazil is basically a first world country if it was to separate itself from Brazil. It's just that the northern side of Brazil has just always had a history of being a disaster for infrastructure, equality, climate, etc.
The only negative part of the video: Tin getting shocked that young people drink at bars. Well. In other western countries they don't: They USE m3th and other stuff (e.g USA). The alcohol consumption in Brazil is way lower than other western countries. Also, the homelessness is indeed a problem. But definitely not much different from post-covid SF, LA, etc. The rest sound pretty accurate to me.
@bolo de limão that they are drinking does not mean they have money for it you potato. They can be drowning in debt not paying rent of surviving of parents whilst spending every last cent they earned or begged for on drink. Just like how it happens in many countries. Just be silent man.
@bolo de limão Or, what if they are enjoying their day off? Or what if they are not as young as we think? There is so much about this assumption. Especially as he showed like... 4 people (in a city with 11M inhabitants). Here in the USA, alcohol consumption in public is a big deal (even a crime in some states). But that does not mean that people drink less - they get wasted at home or at shady bars. Drinking a cold one with friends at an outdoors table is a bliss. We, BRs, know it well.

@@priyankarmajumder4152 Love India as well mate. Hope our countries can do better. Corruption is the main problem, our politicians take office only as a easy way to make money out of it. They dont care about the country and its situation.
Here's the mistakes I noticed on the video that I will point out: Brazil geography biggest problem in being a superpower is it's isolated from the rest of the world. We aren't geographically close to anything besides Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. Everything else is far, even other bordering countries. Brazil is far from Brazil itself. And our easy navigation routes are still far from other decent economies. (Europe, NA, China, etc). Amazon rainforest isn't a problem at all, it covers an isolated corner of the country, honestly, it's not an infrastructure problem for the rest of the country but for itself only. Rural areas are definitely less developed, but rural population is such a minority that this example was just a bad one. Inequality biggest problem in Brazil is arguably over urbanization. Over 80% of people live in urban areas, soon to be 90%. That's too much, and helps with Brazil isolating itself from Brazil, like I said in the first portion of my comment. Overall, not a very bad video, but those few topics you touched weren't really the right picture. Also, that's São Paulo, world's 4th largest city, you can't have such a huge city and not have homelessness and inequality. People are pointing out "it looks just like New York", yea, because this is the megalopolis effect. However, there's definitely worse cases of poverty and better examples you could have used. Cheers, thanks for the video!

Very well stated. Brazil reminds me of the 80s where due to the wealth gap, the rich or those with means, control and do as they please. Mexico shares this attitude.
Misleading in so many ways. The reason why Brazil doesn’t take off is not related to it’s geography in any way, in fact, our resources and commodity trade are one of the only sectors of our economy that grows. Even when disregarding the area taken up by the Amazon rainforest we are still one of the countries with the largest area of fertile land. The idea that inflation is also one of the biggest issues in the country is also misleading in the sense that we are simply following world patterns coming from the supply chain crisis. At the end of the day, Brazil still has a stable currency and advanced banking system, something that can’t be said about other large developing countries like Turkey or even our neighbors Argentina and Venezuela. What keeps holding Brazil back is the way our government is structured. Government in Brazil is inefficient and corrupt which makes our society as a whole not function properly (from education and healthcare to taxation policies). Something I think the video could have dwelled more deeply into is how Brazil has failed to open up its economy, integrating it to a more global production line. Our economy as a whole is extremely shut off from the rest of the world when compared to other major developing countries. Also, as one of the interviewed participants mentioned, Brazil is not business friendly and opening a business often requires loads of red tape, briberies and having to deal with parallel powers from the drug trade and militias (stemming from the lack of government presence previously mentioned). The way the video implied that Brazilians are “lazy” or just “not up to it”, mentioning how they were in a bar on a weekday is extremely racist to say the least. Brazilians are some of the most hardworking people out there, it’s common to hear people waking up at 5:00 AM for a 3 hour commute to work (often in physical labors), do overtime and not get paid for it, or face great hurdles to open a business even in such a complicated environment. São Paulo is a megacity with 12 million people, so yeah, you’re going to find people in a bar on a weekday the same way you would in NYC. Also, the homeless people, the smell of urine and drug addicts is not that different to major cities in the US like San Francisco or New Orleans. It also didn’t help that you were recording this is downtown São Paulo, a region we mostly know as Cracolândia (land of crack). If this video were to be recorded in Itaim or Berrini it would have been a lot nicer. I’m obviously not saying that there isn’t inequality in Brazil’s major cities, but I think the best neighborhood to showcase that in São Paulo would have been Morumbi, one of the most expensive neighborhoods in São Paulo, with a much larger presence of flaunting wealth, that’s surrounded by slums (a more realistic portrayal of poverty and social inequality in Brazil). Lastly, you mentioned that the wealth inequality is very present between cities and rural areas, which is not true. Data shows that rural areas have kept growth and focused on industries, as well as the fact that Brazil’s major presence in agriculture for the economy have made the rural areas in the southeastern and southern part of the country some of the wealthiest in the nation. Wealthy middle sized cities like Ribeirão Preto or Londrina have developed a stable middle class while Rio or São Paulo still showcase extreme poverty. It would make more sense to talk about regional inequality (the north and northeastern regions of the country showcase much higher levels of corruption, poverty and unemployment Than the south and southeast.
For me you said everything but one honerable mention is that Brazil have the worst tax system in the world, it very complex. In Brazil there was in a point at time, that there was more law and accounting school in the world. Brazilian people are either can be very hard working or lazy. There is no middle ground. My colleague said that, she is Brazilian. I am beginning to think also many working class brazilian don't to value education as a way out of poverty, the public school system is very bad but the student are disinterested in study, my aunt and my ex girl friend mother are public school teachers.
I also have to say that many Brazilian dream to get a government job. After 3 years you cannot get fired and by Brazilian standard you earn a high salary.
My goodness, preach my brother. As soon as I finished the video I told myself I’m writing a long comment right now, then i saw yours. Thanks for schooling this person that should have done a lot more research before posting a video of a quick visit and projecting his own narrow minded perspective.
2 factors that will make inflation, purchasing power and inequality decrease more significantly. Administrative and Tax Reform. But there are still many people with socialist thoughts in the society and in the politics resulting from the previous government. The former government was responsible for one of the biggest corruption scandals in the world. financed dictatorships around the world with our money. The current president is having immense difficulty in undoing what was done in past governments, they are sabotaging the current president, if you research something about him, you will hardly find anything good, the media no longer receives it as before. I am Brazilian and this is my view and that of many around here.
como brasileiro, é importante saber como a nossa realidade é projetada pra fora do nosso país, e surpreendentemente esse vídeo fala a verdade sobre o que temos vivido. enquanto a preocupação governamental for o lucro ao invés do povo, nós nunca iremos sair dessa miséria. enquanto a preocupação for com prédios luxuosos, nunca irão deixar de existir pessoas implorando pelo básico.
Aqui o Governo é extremamente ineficiente e inchado, e quando tomam uma medida realmente eficiente pra diminuir a desigualdade e subsidiar empresas, chama isso de socialismo e começam a destruir no Governo seguinte neoliberal. É frustrante, qualquer avanço aqui é destruído em seguida.
Lucro é importante nos EUA, Inglaterra, França e todos os outros quase 200 países existentes. Essa fala é um pouco medíocre e retrata bem o que foi falado no vídeo, um povo de mentalidade medíocre. Com lucro bem oportunidades de emprego, bonus e enriquecimento, pare de falar dos lucros e reclame dos altos impostos que você paga, pq o único que não permite esse país crescer é a porcaria do estado brasileiro e seus políticos.

Reminds me of India, my country. Similar problems. Brazilian cities seem to have better infrastructure in comparison to India. We have the educated youth desperately migrating. Maybe India has less graffiti.
India doesn't have anything remotely close to Brazil's crime, guns and violence problem. It's also grown at 6-8% a year for most of the last two decades. I think Brazil actually has had negative total GDP growth over the last 10-15 years. Also Indians value education and hard work a lot more from what I've seen
but India have much better education, technology, economic growth and stability compared to Brazil. I think in a few decade, India will become what China look like today
I don't live a life where I can spend my money on what I really want (like I have to save for a while but at some point I can buy), but for many other things I prefer Brazil and I wouldn't trade it for any other country, after researching a lot, I saw that there is no perfect country and I still think that my country can improve, the most necessary things in this world we have, which are the sweet and good water and lots of food, we just need a good distribution and things start to move.

My mother is Brazilian but I was born and raised in Germany. Even tho my mother had a better job then my father in Germany it was clear that education wise Germany is just the better option and free. In my childhood days I never understood that decision because Brazil seemed so much cooler and richer then Germany due to the fact that my Family there is rich. Just seeing basically in São Paulo Alphaville, Vila Nova Conceição and maybe some other rich Neighbourhoods, I always thought everything is so luxurious and more wealthy then Germany. Now that I've grown I understand that it was just a facade and the real Brazil isn’t like this at all. Still the people are genuinely super nice and I've enjoyed traveling more poor areas or cities way more then just being isolated in a rich gated community. So I'm thankful to be born and raised in Germany and I understand that I'm lucky
Impunity. Solve impunity and both corruption and crime will go down. They also need to reshore industry. Like many, they let China take their production. Agro creates few jobs.
I can only say for myself,but I'm a definitely hard-working person, the thing is that in Brazil unless you have money or the right connections you are doomed to live an average life here.
Of course young people won't like to work. In this country work is almost worthless, you work, work and work, but it isn't fruitfull. You work just to pay bills and survive, how is this motivating? If at least harwork could make people rise socially, but doesn't matter how much you work, things never change.
what I see in Brazil is a potential, so much potential Even better than of India. Close proximity to U.S world's largest economy. no religious violence, they should be world's fastest growing economy, yet right now it's India. If Brazil taps into its the potential I'd would leave India behind in dust in terms of economics. I'm not making fun of my own country, as people are proud to brazilian, I'm also proud to be an Indian. They don't even have enemies like China or Pakistan near them. Well I hope Brazil rises, all the luck in world to you. Cause I know India will always be rising.
@india There's racism everywhere, even in India Africans are treated badly, but in west it's little worse than in India. I think there are more people in Brazil who like India than racists. I met some online on Omegle they seemed nice. But i have never been in Brazil so maybe there are many racist people, but doesn't mean I would go down to their level. I will wish them success online, it doesn't take much effort anyways. I also talked to guy in this comment section he seemed to favorable attitude towards India.

Are you aware that you just visited one city in Brazil and that you are making bold claims about the whole country? In my opinion, you are running into rather naive conclusions based off of your experience as a "tourist" after having spent just a few days in a metropolis like Sao Paulo! even Paris smells like shit in certain areas, even in New York you will find a lot of homeless and very aggressive people on the streets; are you even surprised to see luxury stores in a city destroyed by drugs and violence like Detroit? or Would you be shocked to see young people drinking alcohol and smoking weed and perhaps doing other drugs on certain spots in LA or SF? Every big city comes with its own set of problems, this should be no surprise to anyone, to list a few: New York, Bogota, Paris, Rome, Mexico City, Mumbai, etc. What you just did is like me going to e.g. Detroit to the hot spots and coming with conclusions about the U.S as a whole. Otherwise, great video.
I think he should have focused more on statistics, like the fact per capita GDP is lower today than in 2007, so that's 15 years of no positive economic growth. Pretty insane.
@@meismax Being a "superpower" is a stupid concept, not only that, it's an outdated idea too. Be a superpower? For what reason? Start wars? Impose the will of your country on others?

I get what he's saying, he's saying that we really don't like to work, and I noticed it's true, most of us like to find a way to skip a job day, place false sick day notices, most brazilians also like to extend work till the last minute so they work less, working in a warehouse I notice these patterns daily, it's in our culture, we like to relax more than work, that's why we're never on point, buses and metro lines don't have schedules, and big projects take a lot of time to get significant progress... it's all from our culture of "I can do that later"

Também não concordo com a declaração dele. Se o povo brasileiro se acomoda, não é porque no Brasil há abundância ou muitos recursos, mas acredito que seja por não ver perspectiva mesmo. Se acomodar, no entanto, não vejo como uma falta de cultura de trabalho pesado, pois acho que ele até se contradiz - se a maioria trabalha como escravos, acho difícil falar de gente que não dá duro no trabalho. No fim, o brasileiro acomodado não faz é revolução, cobrar dos governantes.
As someone that lives in São Paulo I can tell you that here quality of life is not good even if you have a lot of money to spend, only a small portion of the city actually can offer you relatively good security and good infrastructure overall and the moment you step out of the "good" part of the city it's all poverty and bad infrastructure
Hold on, Sao Paulo is still the most secure Brazilians state's capital, even being the BIGGEST of the whole south hemisphere, and having the best infrastructure, if you compare, obviously, with the other Brazilians state's capitals. One thing you didn't say is that, living in big cities in Brazil, is living with insecurity, because our whole system is a mess: We don't have a decent penal code, we don't have clear and modern legislation, we don't have an efficient fight against corruption that dominates from the base to the top of the social pyramid, we don't have quality education and we don't have good political representatives, having , including one of the highest expenses with politicians in the entire planet.
Yes, Brazil has the potential to be a superpower, but mismanagement and corruption do not allow the country to develop everything it can. On the other hand, it is a fact that Brazil is an economic power, ranking 10th in Nominal GDP and 8th in PPP GDP. The country is also projected to reach the 5th position by 2050.
The metropolitan region of São Paulo has more than 20 million inhabitants. the cities have sprung up and today it is a gram mass of population with no perceptible frontiers. São Paulo is an international and cosmopolitan city, so its problems do not reflect the reality of the country. São Paulo's problems are common to most large cities in the world, but in São Paulo the typical problems of a metropolis are intensified by having a large population. As for why Brazil is not yet a superpower. It is due to the fact that Brazil is a relatively new country, it was colonized for a long time with the sole objective of extracting wealth. Furthermore, Brazil has only been a legitimate democracy for 50 years. Therefore, there is a need for a maturing of the population and politics for Brazil to become the country it was born to be.
As an outsider, married to a brazilian girl from Fortaleza and I have been to Brazil a couple of times already (from South to North to the interior). First thing is, corruption is definitely a massive problem and is stops progress in everyday, you don't need just a good leader, you need a whole new flip of the government and get rid of the whole gang of idiots. I think the rich are a problem with racism, they think they are better and they do not want to share with the poor, they want to keep them there. Also, why is everything being put in sao Paulo??? For goodness sake, it's overrun as it is, spread the business to other places, invest, educate, because believe me, they need it!!! Of course, the violence and the gangs, this is a bit more complicated, I think this would need a special operation of just taking people one by one and no one know anything about it haha. Brazil has so many nice places, BUT for example, you go to the beach (not everywhere) and you just see little plastics everywhere and for that reasoni can't even a enjoy a place! I mean come on! I just cannot understand, is laziness, ignorance or just complete stupidly from people?! As someone who works in recycling, I know how much of a problem plastic and waste is, so PLEASE sort this out people because it's really not that hard! By the way, I do love Brasil and I'm even hoping to move to Brasil at some point, with a plan of course, as I know how hard it can be to live there. Great video BTW.
What a great video I’ve been to Brazil twice and many people don’t know this about this country and see it only as the beautiful country it is but don’t see how much it struggles

actually. real unemployment on brazil is way higher. A problem that happens in brazil is to be the "desalentado" who is someone who give up searching for a job because the cost of searching for it is way higher than the benefit of getting it. it's a socioeconomic and self-esteem question. these people does not count as unemployed. and. the minimum wage of 200 usd. is almost nothing. it's around R$ 1000. if you are lucky you find a house for 600/800 reals. and the remaining . 200 reals to survive the month. it's almost impossible to survive with only one minimum wage in Brazil. my family had survived this when I was around 16. but that's the word. survival. and a lot of brazilians doesn't believe that there is a life beyond this one. the situation is so critical. that,. thank god and a lot of study and effort. i got into and eua agency to work remotely for around 1000 usd.. thats way more than 90% of brazilian population. i could consider myself "rich" but the truth is we born in a really poor country. thank god i do not starve anymore and can invest in more education and help my family to do not care so much with basic survival it's very hard to be productive, creative, when you are looking for basic survival. how many brazilian Steve Jobs, Michael Jacksons, Stephen Hawkings we lost not only in Brazil but in the world because of the poverty?

You don't ever even see things getting better, it's always becoming worst. And our current Minister of Economy saying everything's ok.
Interesting video but none of the key aspects were mentioned: * Land ownership in rural areas is extremely concentrated, pretty much the same families own the same land (as big as states). one of the reasons the rainforest is being burned down (soy bean production) * This leads to historically high internal migration rates. which leads to overpopulated cities like Rio and São Paulo. which leads to inequality, criminality and huge traffic jams. * The best paid jobs are in public areas: why would you even open a business if you could earn easy 10k USD a month as a district attorney? * Corruption and coping with it badly: just call it Lobbying and legalise it like developed countries did * Lack of investment in research and general public service infrastructure *US backed coup d'État: the only possible chance of making a fairer Country with João Goulart went down badly due to internal and international interests (VW, Ford)
As an Indian I believe India couldn't compete with China/world or sustain in South Asian Market if we didn't have a strong leadership. Corruption will be there in every major populated country. But a strong leader can make difference whether its a Prime Minister or President. Brazil seriously needs a strong Leader to stop corruption and deforestation. Its unacceptable to have 11% inflation rate in a rich vibrant and naturally resourceful country
Inflation is high everywhere in the world. And yes, Brazil has many problems but two months after this video Brazil is back to the 10th biggest economy of the world, the currency is recovering and is now being recognized as one of the fast and best recovering countries after the pandemics.

I don't blame you if you don't know that, as you said, all you hear is bad press because the press hates Bolsonaro as they hate every right political in any country. They hated Trump, they hate Viktor Orban, they hate Bolsonaro.
I'm from Asia and I hope Brazil can reverse its fate and become a superpower. We need more superpowers that are good superpowers to act as counter balance. Russia alone is not enough to counter the evil superpowers.
As a brazillian I'd say we are unhinged because our economy is focused towards exterior, we export crops, livestock, wood and minerals, to gain manufactureds in return, and whenever there is global turmoil we get our economy's chains shaking causing inflation thus incresing wealth inequality
Good and constructive attempt to translate what the country is, but misses some of the bigger picture. There's more to it, both pros and cons. The South / Southeast is very developed compared to let's say India almost everywhere, and especially the countryside. Large metros like São Paulo have the homeless problem just like in the US, and probably less in your face than extremes like LA/Santa Monica or San Francisco downtown post COVID-19, or Austin TX in recent times before they took care of it. The park shown is not a place where normal people hang out. You'll see less homeless around key parts of town. Traffic is brutal in São Paulo and there is no real attempt to create a great urban transportation infrastructure like most larger European cities. Corruption and the political system in Brazil are even more of a negative factor and deserved more attention. Certainly that guy can afford to buy meat, there is a significant middle class that has been squeezed by recent inflation, but still have the means for minimally decent living. There is a universal and free Health Care system that takes care of most of the poor in a way that is surprisingly better than most developing nations and even the US. Brazilians are slightly more biased against their own culture. There is a lot of 'grass is greener' elsewhere mentality, and yet, when the economy is not good enough for young professionals (definitely a factor now), there is certainly more exodus to foreign countries, with quite a few staying abroad and many other returning later. No hard work? A few young people having a few beers is normal in the best of economic times. Look further, on average, more hard working than many other places. Some of the world's finest corporations like the 3G group, who are close partners to Warren Buffet in a few investments, come from Brazil. Digital and financial startups like NuBank, XP, are changing the financial landscape, catching up and being in some ways more disruptive than in America or Europe. Brazil is an agricultural powerhouse, hard to compete with given scale and resources. Culture is open, positive, friendly, there is a lightness to how people interact. There is a reason why Brazil's most talented world renowned football or soccer players return to the country after they retire in Europe. I consider Brazil a middle order country (not poor and not rich all things considered) with very significant inequality, and a political system that needs to be fixed so real leaders can make a difference.
I love Brazil!! God bless our people and those who call Brazil home! Maybe it's not a best country in the World but it deserves some respect, Brazil is a country that was and is open arms for some many other countries and cultures!
Why do they even Use the GDP nominal as a metric ? JEEZ - economists must be getting paid by World bank or IMF or US Govt. The dollar itself is crumbling, inflation in US > 6% - rents have increased by 20-30%, coffee that was 2.5$ is now 3.5 - 3.75$. By this metric, the US economy also shrank by 5-10% over the last 1 year. No one states that. GDP PPP is a better comparison of Economies. It accounts for inflation, buying power, differences in costs of living. I am pretty sure 1000$ in Brazil will be faaarrrr more comfortable than 1000$ in ANY PART OF US or western Europe. LET ALONE Midwest US - which has the cheapest costs of living. 1 bed apartments in majority of US cities are > 800$, but yes GDP nominal US is great! Same applies to every big European economy. Cost of living is so expensive, but GDP Nominal is high, so their economy is great ! When will people realize that what you make isn't important - WHAT YOU CAN GET FOR WHAT YOU MAKE IS ! JEEZ.
Brazil has huge inequalities arising from historical issues too complex to be discussed in a UA-cam comment section and It's a really democratic country. These two facts generate the following result: the distributive conflict in Brazil is difficult to manage, if not impossible. What leads to a structural fiscal deficit situation. And a very intense rent-seeking process that not only generates imbalances in the public budget, but distorts the functioning of sectors from a microeconomic perspective. Much inequality has also impacted the issue of education. The country started too late to take care of human capital and did not use demography to its advantage. So, Brazil is a country with structural fiscal fragility that messes up the macroeconomy. And it has a serious productivity problem because of pressure group rent-seeking and low-quality education on the microeconomic side.
Brazilian here. Our problema is basically inflation due to corrupted system, lack of punishment in corruption cases, corrupt presidents, corrupt court.
Having the Amazon (plus the river with same name) and 10.959 km of coast a band thing? Not at all! The problems are the acess to education, technology and training that you mentioned later in the video, but not this two geographic points. In matter of fact, the problems that i have pointed are the reason why we can't explore those thing more more efficiency.

O que o Brasil precisa mudar é PRIVATIZAR tudo, tirar tudo da mão do governo, assim vai diminuir a corrupção, por exemplo correios, Petrobras, tudo isto tem que ser privatizado, depois os brasileiros buscarem por qualificação superior e ter mente empreendedora e não de lavar banheiro nos Estados Unidos, e por último não eleger nem lula e tampouco bolsonaro, eles foram os últimos e o país continua horrível.
man would love if you could come to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and make documentary about our country. Would really love a perspective from an outsider. Cheers!
I live in Sao Paulo and as a Brazilian born and raised here I want to leave this city and move to another city. I think the major problem It's the government don't want to invest in technology and good education. besides that the corruption it's horrible and drained our money decade after decade.
I lived in Brazil for 13 yrs. Brazil's logistics, high taxes, poor public services, the poor educational system keep Brazil struggling and relatively expensive, unfortunately.
As a Brazilian, I have to say that Brazilians are not able to manage a country. Even if we had all of the tools with a roadmap on how to do it, we would still not be able to get it right. Brazilians and counter-intuitiveness go hand in hand.
The video was way too short to be able to properly speak about the real struggle in Brazil. Let's say it was a short video and the long one is on the way
I'm an economist in Brazil, so let me say that we have not grown substantially in terms of GDP per capita since the 80s. Still, our democratic institutions have become really solid, and that's what is going to be very important for our growth in the near future.
You are wrong when you talk about rural areas. Nowadays people living in rural area in Brazil have a very god life quality and also the cities don't have the same problems like the big cities do.
Corruption destroys the Brazilian potential, the politicians are extremely corrupt and the population can accept anything bad their politicians do if they are from the party they like.
As a Brazilian, young entrepreneur who started from the bottom, I came from a very poor family, I can relate... And yes, our political decisions are always bad, and doesnt matter which side the politician is, corruption is a cultural thing. Its so deep inside our actions and the way our society works, that's like a utopia. We seem to be forever the Country of the future, even being more blessed than a lot of wealthy countries, juts being naturally gifted by the Mother Nature: Good lands, different types of weather, one of the biggest varieties of cultures from the whole world, and yet, we seem to not getting far. And I must say that to change all that, our people need to act first, which is unlikely to happen. Brazilians are only hospitable to those who come from abroad, because we do have an internal competition, who is the most successful, people screwing themselves financially to buy a car or a house and show it off to the neighbors. The Brazilian middle class is a circus, we have a very serious problem with not liking to see the success of other Brazilians, and getting rich in Brazil, for many, only if you are bad and do bad things...
4 basic things: 1. Lack of innovation and growth in productivity, market competitiveness. 2. Low savings and investment rate, therefore low accumulation of capital 3. A stagnated and scrapped educational system 4. A broken labor market which makes labor expensive, inflexible leading to high permanent unemployment With lots of idle workers who are poorly educated, working with much less capital than optimal and being very unproductive in all the production process, you can't be a superpower. Plus, as a shit bonus, idle workers don't learn or gain experience, low Productivity growth makes investment less attractive, low investment leads to fewer capital to employ labor and fewer technological upgrades in capital. There's no politician or political parties who'll address this, they don't even admit this is the problem. They either blame it on high taxes or inequality, which are indeed big problems in Brazil, but aren't the cause of our underdevelopment.
The problem with Brazil and the entire South America for that matter. Is that they are too far away geographically from the rest of the world. That means anything that's made in South America needs to travel farther just to get to the consumers. Also supply chains tend to stay concentrated, no company wants to have a manufacturing plant in China that makes the components and then send it all the way to South America for it to be assembled. So the pillar industry for most South America is commodities, mining and agriculture, these don't have any supply chains, and just needs to be loaded on to a ship and send it to China or the US. But excessive reliance on Agriculture and local service industries means, most of the population don't get to take part in high value added jobs.
By the way,who is buying those luxury goods?I know it is the politicians & other wealthy people but the trendy shops are popping up everywhere (according to uptin).It means there is still a large number of wealthy people in the country.
You forgot to mention one thing. That is the reality in São Paulo, the unofficial capital of Brazil, in the other cities and states you don't even get to see those stores, or if you do, they don't have a lot of variety at all. Brazil it's basically living to buy food of questionable quality to survive and the worst products to study and entertain yourself. What I mean is the price of shipment of tools for you to work with whatever you're good at, and also having fun like games sports and others, expensive and not easy to find and inspire like in São Paulo.

Superpowers are generally regarded as international hegemonies. The US is the only extant superpower and China is the only emerging power which will probably become a superpower.

I just want to grab the attention to one factor: yes, wealth inequality is rampant in Brazil, but it’s more spatial than its seems to indicate through cities like São Paulo and Rio. In more inland regions of southeast and south Brazil there are very nice regions to live like south of Minas Gerais, Paraná state, Santa Catarina state, etc. while towards regions more to the north there is a lot of poverty.
the southern region of brazil is the least corrupt
Rio Grande do Sul também, mas acho que quase não tem casa lá pra habitação
But there's a huge amount of intra-regional inequality.
@@FOLIPE in certain states, yes (e.g. North vs south Minas Gerais), while in others, inequality is more evident in big city centers (like São Paulo)
@M E Yeah but i dont know, im not bragging because i didnt DO it, but in my region at least every family has 2 cars, big house, public health works great.
Medium sized and small towns are great. But state capitals and coastal cities will always be riddled with poverty.
Although uptin didn’t lie, he seems to think that most if not all of Brazil is like São Paulo. That would be the same as thinking all of the USA is like New York or Los Angeles. Most of Brazil doesn’t have favelas. Many major cities in Brazil in the southern region don’t have the homelessness and wealth gap that São Paulo does.
I live in the Southern Region and we do have a LOT of people living on the streets and all that stuff. Maybe we don't have favelas like in Rio or São Paulo, but poverty definitely exists here.
São Paulo is the wealthiest city in Brazil. Poverty is even more rampant in places like Manaus or São Luís
@M E you don't know anything
@@nereud.1027 Well you sure are wrong, because Southern Brazil is basically a first world country if it was to separate itself from Brazil. It's just that the northern side of Brazil has just always had a history of being a disaster for infrastructure, equality, climate, etc.
The only negative part of the video: Tin getting shocked that young people drink at bars.
Well. In other western countries they don't: They USE m3th and other stuff (e.g USA). The alcohol consumption in Brazil is way lower than other western countries.
Also, the homelessness is indeed a problem. But definitely not much different from post-covid SF, LA, etc.
The rest sound pretty accurate to me.
No he meant that these young people are spending time at bars during work days/hrs which means they are unemployed.
@bolo de limão that they are drinking does not mean they have money for it you potato. They can be drowning in debt not paying rent of surviving of parents whilst spending every last cent they earned or begged for on drink. Just like how it happens in many countries. Just be silent man.
@bolo de limão Or, what if they are enjoying their day off? Or what if they are not as young as we think? There is so much about this assumption. Especially as he showed like... 4 people (in a city with 11M inhabitants). Here in the USA, alcohol consumption in public is a big deal (even a crime in some states). But that does not mean that people drink less - they get wasted at home or at shady bars.
Drinking a cold one with friends at an outdoors table is a bliss. We, BRs, know it well.

@@Eheth1958Do you know which is the second most English speaking country? It's India.
Here's the mistakes I noticed on the video that I will point out:
Brazil geography biggest problem in being a superpower is it's isolated from the rest of the world. We aren't geographically close to anything besides Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. Everything else is far, even other bordering countries. Brazil is far from Brazil itself. And our easy navigation routes are still far from other decent economies. (Europe, NA, China, etc). Amazon rainforest isn't a problem at all, it covers an isolated corner of the country, honestly, it's not an infrastructure problem for the rest of the country but for itself only.
Rural areas are definitely less developed, but rural population is such a minority that this example was just a bad one. Inequality biggest problem in Brazil is arguably over urbanization. Over 80% of people live in urban areas, soon to be 90%. That's too much, and helps with Brazil isolating itself from Brazil, like I said in the first portion of my comment.
Overall, not a very bad video, but those few topics you touched weren't really the right picture. Also, that's São Paulo, world's 4th largest city, you can't have such a huge city and not have homelessness and inequality. People are pointing out "it looks just like New York", yea, because this is the megalopolis effect. However, there's definitely worse cases of poverty and better examples you could have used.
Cheers, thanks for the video!
The US urban population is 83%. So your non-professional opinion on the issue falls flat.

Very well stated. Brazil reminds me of the 80s where due to the wealth gap, the rich or those with means, control and do as they please. Mexico shares this attitude.
Misleading in so many ways. The reason why Brazil doesn’t take off is not related to it’s geography in any way, in fact, our resources and commodity trade are one of the only sectors of our economy that grows. Even when disregarding the area taken up by the Amazon rainforest we are still one of the countries with the largest area of fertile land. The idea that inflation is also one of the biggest issues in the country is also misleading in the sense that we are simply following world patterns coming from the supply chain crisis. At the end of the day, Brazil still has a stable currency and advanced banking system, something that can’t be said about other large developing countries like Turkey or even our neighbors Argentina and Venezuela. What keeps holding Brazil back is the way our government is structured. Government in Brazil is inefficient and corrupt which makes our society as a whole not function properly (from education and healthcare to taxation policies). Something I think the video could have dwelled more deeply into is how Brazil has failed to open up its economy, integrating it to a more global production line. Our economy as a whole is extremely shut off from the rest of the world when compared to other major developing countries. Also, as one of the interviewed participants mentioned, Brazil is not business friendly and opening a business often requires loads of red tape, briberies and having to deal with parallel powers from the drug trade and militias (stemming from the lack of government presence previously mentioned). The way the video implied that Brazilians are “lazy” or just “not up to it”, mentioning how they were in a bar on a weekday is extremely racist to say the least. Brazilians are some of the most hardworking people out there, it’s common to hear people waking up at 5:00 AM for a 3 hour commute to work (often in physical labors), do overtime and not get paid for it, or face great hurdles to open a business even in such a complicated environment. São Paulo is a megacity with 12 million people, so yeah, you’re going to find people in a bar on a weekday the same way you would in NYC. Also, the homeless people, the smell of urine and drug addicts is not that different to major cities in the US like San Francisco or New Orleans. It also didn’t help that you were recording this is downtown São Paulo, a region we mostly know as Cracolândia (land of crack). If this video were to be recorded in Itaim or Berrini it would have been a lot nicer. I’m obviously not saying that there isn’t inequality in Brazil’s major cities, but I think the best neighborhood to showcase that in São Paulo would have been Morumbi, one of the most expensive neighborhoods in São Paulo, with a much larger presence of flaunting wealth, that’s surrounded by slums (a more realistic portrayal of poverty and social inequality in Brazil). Lastly, you mentioned that the wealth inequality is very present between cities and rural areas, which is not true. Data shows that rural areas have kept growth and focused on industries, as well as the fact that Brazil’s major presence in agriculture for the economy have made the rural areas in the southeastern and southern part of the country some of the wealthiest in the nation. Wealthy middle sized cities like Ribeirão Preto or Londrina have developed a stable middle class while Rio or São Paulo still showcase extreme poverty. It would make more sense to talk about regional inequality (the north and northeastern regions of the country showcase much higher levels of corruption, poverty and unemployment Than the south and southeast.
The rest of Latin America have the same problem. Corruption and government ineficiency doesnt let Latin America become like a European Union.
For me you said everything but one honerable mention is that Brazil have the worst tax system in the world, it very complex. In Brazil there was in a point at time, that there was more law and accounting school in the world. Brazilian people are either can be very hard working or lazy. There is no middle ground. My colleague said that, she is Brazilian. I am beginning to think also many working class brazilian don't to value education as a way out of poverty, the public school system is very bad but the student are disinterested in study, my aunt and my ex girl friend mother are public school teachers.
I also have to say that many Brazilian dream to get a government job. After 3 years you cannot get fired and by Brazilian standard you earn a high salary.

Brazil is a country that has potential to be a superpower however for that potential to be reached it need the right leadership and time.
2 factors that will make inflation, purchasing power and inequality decrease more significantly. Administrative and Tax Reform. But there are still many people with socialist thoughts in the society and in the politics resulting from the previous government. The former government was responsible for one of the biggest corruption scandals in the world. financed dictatorships around the world with our money. The current president is having immense difficulty in undoing what was done in past governments, they are sabotaging the current president, if you research something about him, you will hardly find anything good, the media no longer receives it as before.

Poor infrastructure is problem.
India doesn't have anything remotely close to Brazil's crime, guns and violence problem. It's also grown at 6-8% a year for most of the last two decades. I think Brazil actually has had negative total GDP growth over the last 10-15 years. Also Indians value education and hard work a lot more from what I've seen
both India and brazil needs to get off us petrodolar, buy evs and solar, stop exports to usa and keep wealth home.

that exactly what my girlfriend said to me(I'm planning to move in brazil in near future)
Brazil has so much potential, but sadly it's leadership seems to be letting its inhabitants down.
It’s the language , English is the language of success.
Love Brasil from China🇨🇳❤🇧🇷
What a great and beautiful country!!!
Hope Brasil to be a superpower❤❤❤

My mother is Brazilian but I was born and raised in Germany. Even tho my mother had a better job then my father in Germany it was clear that education wise Germany is just the better option and free. In my childhood days I never understood that decision because Brazil seemed so much cooler and richer then Germany due to the fact that my Family there is rich. Just seeing basically in São Paulo Alphaville, Vila Nova Conceição and maybe some other rich Neighbourhoods, I always thought everything is so luxurious and more wealthy then Germany. Now that I've grown I understand that it was just a facade and the real Brazil isn’t like this at all. Still the people are genuinely super nice and I've enjoyed traveling more poor areas or cities way more then just being isolated in a rich gated community. So I'm thankful to be born and raised in Germany and I understand that I'm lucky
I really can't believe you are making these amazing videos all by yourself.Mark my words you are going to get huge amount of subs and followers
Thanks so much❤
I love these videos, would love them to be longer.
Feel like you only scratched the surface here.
brazil has everything right but 1 major thing wrong
is the young pop. I don't find brazil young people hardworking, passionate
Impunity. Solve impunity and both corruption and crime will go down. They also need to reshore industry. Like many, they let China take their production. Agro creates few jobs.
I can only say for myself,but I'm a definitely hard-working person, the thing is that in Brazil unless you have money or the right connections you are doomed to live an average life here.
Of course young people won't like to work. In this country work is almost worthless, you work, work and work, but it isn't fruitfull. You work just to pay bills and survive, how is this motivating? If at least harwork could make people rise socially, but doesn't matter how much you work, things never change.
6th in population and 5th in land area (slightly smaller than USA but bigger than Australia). Brazil certainly can be a super power.
In south america
@@funnymakerboy4199 We already are a superpower in Latin America. Still so far to be a superpower in the world. But we have that potential to be one.
Just need to increase more the productivity and research. It is also pretty close to Europe, US and Africa so it should use it as an advantage
what I see in Brazil is a potential, so much potential Even better than of India. Close proximity to U.S world's largest economy. no religious violence, they should be world's fastest growing economy, yet right now it's India. If Brazil taps into its the potential I'd would leave India behind in dust in terms of economics. I'm not making fun of my own country, as people are proud to brazilian, I'm also proud to be an Indian. They don't even have enemies like China or Pakistan near them. Well I hope Brazil rises, all the luck in world to you. Cause I know India will always be rising.
@india There's racism everywhere, even in India Africans are treated badly, but in west it's little worse than in India. I think there are more people in Brazil who like India than racists. I met some online on Omegle they seemed nice. But i have never been in Brazil so maybe there are many racist people, but doesn't mean I would go down to their level. I will wish them success online, it doesn't take much effort anyways. I also talked to guy in this comment section he seemed to favorable attitude towards India.
@india true difference is low, but what i have state is a fact, don't think I wish to demean you. I'm not a leftist, If you're curious. Well, good day to you sir, if you have any questions please comment 👍.
I meet Angolans who lived in Brazil and faced discrimination even they speak the same language
My portfolio has good companies, however it has been stalling this year I have approximately $600k stagnant in my reserve that need growth.

Are you aware that you just visited one city in Brazil and that you are making bold claims about the whole country? In my opinion, you are running into rather naive conclusions based off of your experience as a "tourist" after having spent just a few days in a metropolis like Sao Paulo! even Paris smells like shit in certain areas, even in New York you will find a lot of homeless and very aggressive people on the streets; are you even surprised to see luxury stores in a city destroyed by drugs and violence like Detroit? or Would you be shocked to see young people drinking alcohol and smoking weed and perhaps doing other drugs on certain spots in LA or SF? Every big city comes with its own set of problems, this should be no surprise to anyone, to list a few: New York, Bogota, Paris, Rome, Mexico City, Mumbai, etc. What you just did is like me going to e.g. Detroit to the hot spots and coming with conclusions about the U.S as a whole. Otherwise, great video.
Calm down, it may be one-sided but Uptin is not wrong in saying that Brazil is indeed not even close to being a superpower.
Agree whit you. I liv in Stockholm and i can also find homeless people that liv in camps or kids doing drugs and drinks
Brabo 😎👍
I think he should have focused more on statistics, like the fact per capita GDP is lower today than in 2007, so that's 15 years of no positive economic growth. Pretty insane.
@@meismax Being a "superpower" is a stupid concept, not only that, it's an outdated idea too. Be a superpower? For what reason? Start wars? Impose the will of your country on others? Brazil is a peaceful country, all they want is to develop. It seems outsiders are more concerned with the idea of "superpowers" than the idea of developing the country for the sake of the well being of its citizens.
5:00 - EXCUSE ME, WHATAFUCK? What are you talking about? The average working day is from 8:00 to 18:00 and 8:00 to 13:00 on saturdays, if you want to apply to any job, you wont find anything for less than 10 hours daily, and many people got a side job on the weekend to complement their budget.
That guy made the most stupid comment about my people that I ever heard.
I get what he's saying, he's saying that we really don't like to work, and I noticed it's true, most of us like to find a way to skip a job day, place false sick day notices, most brazilians also like to extend work till the last minute so they work less, working in a warehouse I notice these patterns daily, it's in our culture, we like to relax more than work, that's why we're never on point, buses and metro lines don't have schedules, and big projects take a lot of time to get significant progress... it's all from our culture of "I can do that later"
look at him, is just those whit rich kids, he complain about doesn´t have money for buy food but he have money to learn english fluently, Idk how some dumb people believ on that
Também não concordo com a declaração dele. Se o povo brasileiro se acomoda, não é porque no Brasil há abundância ou muitos recursos, mas acredito que seja por não ver perspectiva mesmo. Se acomodar, no entanto, não vejo como uma falta de cultura de trabalho pesado, pois acho que ele até se contradiz - se a maioria trabalha como escravos, acho difícil falar de gente que não dá duro no trabalho. No fim, o brasileiro acomodado não faz é revolução, cobrar dos governantes.
As someone that lives in São Paulo I can tell you that here quality of life is not good even if you have a lot of money to spend, only a small portion of the city actually can offer you relatively good security and good infrastructure overall and the moment you step out of the "good" part of the city it's all poverty and bad infrastructure
Hold on, Sao Paulo is still the most secure Brazilians state's capital, even being the BIGGEST of the whole south hemisphere, and having the best infrastructure, if you compare, obviously, with the other Brazilians state's capitals.
One thing you didn't say is that, living in big cities in Brazil, is living with insecurity, because our whole system is a mess: We don't have a decent penal code, we don't have clear and modern legislation, we don't have an efficient fight against corruption that dominates from the base to the top of the social pyramid, we don't have quality education and we don't have good political representatives, having , including one of the highest expenses with politicians in the entire planet.
Yes, Brazil has the potential to be a superpower, but mismanagement and corruption do not allow the country to develop everything it can. On the other hand, it is a fact that Brazil is an economic power, ranking 10th in Nominal GDP and 8th in PPP GDP. The country is also projected to reach the 5th position by 2050.
It's not totally Brazil's fault. Europe and USA have made really good use of crisis im south american countries :)
@@patricksweeney5308 HAHAHAHAHAHA
The metropolitan region of São Paulo has more than 20 million inhabitants. the cities have sprung up and today it is a gram mass of population with no perceptible frontiers. São Paulo is an international and cosmopolitan city, so its problems do not reflect the reality of the country. São Paulo's problems are common to most large cities in the world, but in São Paulo the typical problems of a metropolis are intensified by having a large population. As for why Brazil is not yet a superpower. It is due to the fact that Brazil is a relatively new country, it was colonized for a long time with the sole objective of extracting wealth. Furthermore, Brazil has only been a legitimate democracy for 50 years. Therefore, there is a need for a maturing of the population and politics for Brazil to become the country it was born to be.
Love from India 👍 🇮🇳
Brazil needs to change🇧🇷❤️
"Brazil the country of the future without a present".... (Love your videos Uptin, they are the best!)
No mention of the massive amount of crime, homicides, drugs, cartels and slums that plague the country and are a major factor in holding it back.
As an outsider, married to a brazilian girl from Fortaleza and I have been to Brazil a couple of times already (from South to North to the interior). First thing is, corruption is definitely a massive problem and is stops progress in everyday, you don't need just a good leader, you need a whole new flip of the government and get rid of the whole gang of idiots.
I think the rich are a problem with racism, they think they are better and they do not want to share with the poor, they want to keep them there.
Also, why is everything being put in sao Paulo??? For goodness sake, it's overrun as it is, spread the business to other places, invest, educate, because believe me, they need it!!!
Of course, the violence and the gangs, this is a bit more complicated, I think this would need a special operation of just taking people one by one and no one know anything about it haha.
Brazil has so many nice places, BUT for example, you go to the beach (not everywhere) and you just see little plastics everywhere and for that reasoni can't even a enjoy a place! I mean come on! I just cannot understand, is laziness, ignorance or just complete stupidly from people?! As someone who works in recycling, I know how much of a problem plastic and waste is, so PLEASE sort this out people because it's really not that hard!
By the way, I do love Brasil and I'm even hoping to move to Brasil at some point, with a plan of course, as I know how hard it can be to live there.
Great video BTW.

What a great video I’ve been to Brazil twice and many people don’t know this about this country and see it only as the beautiful country it is but don’t see how much it struggles
I've never seen anyone finding Brasil Bonito
@@johannkuster79 you’d be surprised at least here I hear people always talk about going to Brazil and how it would be beautiful to live there or spend time there might not be your experience but that’s my experience and what I’ve seen and heard just cause you haven’t heard doesn’t mean it isn’t around
Sao Paulo is the San Francisco of South America
But Rio De Janeiro looks more like San Francisco in terms of the geography and the streets.
Because Brazil is diverse...
actually. real unemployment on brazil is way higher.
A problem that happens in brazil is to be the "desalentado" who is someone who give up searching for a job because the cost of searching for it is way higher than the benefit of getting it. it's a socioeconomic and self-esteem question. these people does not count as unemployed.
and. the minimum wage of 200 usd. is almost nothing. it's around R$ 1000. if you are lucky you find a house for 600/800 reals. and the remaining . 200 reals to survive the month.
it's almost impossible to survive with only one minimum wage in Brazil. my family had survived this when I was around 16. but that's the word. survival. and a lot of brazilians doesn't believe that there is a life beyond this one.
the situation is so critical. that,. thank god and a lot of study and effort. i got into and eua agency to work remotely for around 1000 usd.. thats way more than 90% of brazilian population. i could consider myself "rich" but the truth is we born in a really poor country. thank god i do not starve anymore and can invest in more education and help my family to do not care so much with basic survival
it's very hard to be productive, creative, when you are looking for basic survival. how many brazilian Steve Jobs, Michael Jacksons, Stephen Hawkings we lost not only in Brazil but in the world because of the poverty?

We grew up listening our country is "the country of the future", "the next super economy" but what you really see is unemployment, inflation, expensive cost of living due to the high taxes and it's growing on. You don't ever even see things getting better, it's always becoming worst. And our current Minister of Economy saying everything's ok.
Interesting video but none of the key aspects were mentioned:
* Land ownership in rural areas is extremely concentrated, pretty much the same families own the same land (as big as states). one of the reasons the rainforest is being burned down (soy bean production)
* This leads to historically high internal migration rates. which leads to overpopulated cities like Rio and São Paulo. which leads to inequality, criminality and huge traffic jams.
* The best paid jobs are in public areas: why would you even open a business if you could earn easy 10k USD a month as a district attorney?
* Corruption and coping with it badly: just call it Lobbying and legalise it like developed countries did
* Lack of investment in research and general public service infrastructure
*US backed coup d'État: the only possible chance of making a fairer Country with João Goulart went down badly due to internal and international interests (VW, Ford)
As an Indian I believe India couldn't compete with China/world or sustain in South Asian Market if we didn't have a strong leadership. Corruption will be there in every major populated country. But a strong leader can make difference whether its a Prime Minister or President.
Brazil seriously needs a strong Leader to stop corruption and deforestation. Its unacceptable to have 11% inflation rate in a rich vibrant and naturally resourceful country
Inflation is high everywhere in the world. And yes, Brazil has many problems but two months after this video Brazil is back to the 10th biggest economy of the world, the currency is recovering and is now being recognized as one of the fast and best recovering countries after the pandemics. Why you are so negative? I am really proud to be Brazilian, thankful, this is the other America, I made my life here and I would never live anywhere else.
@@zorbathegreek8339 Yes, Brazil gets a lot of bad press specially because we have a president of the right political spectrum and not left as world press and globalists would love to see. About favelas, I agree we have favelas specially in Rio but not that much in other regions of the country as the south and the center-west. But speaking of that, what was the last time you checked homeless people in USA or violence and crime in the banlieues of Paris? Or news about burning forests in France or Portugal? And Germany getting back to black burning coal and polluting the environment while Brazil has the greenest and cleanest energy matrix of the world? You know my friend, looking from here what we feel is that Europe is full of hypocrites always pointing a finger to Brazil but in fact they are pretty fucked up in many things..
@@zorbathegreek8339 And, right now, Brazil is one of the only countries in the world to register deflation in july. -0,68%. I don't blame you if you don't know that, as you said, all you hear is bad press because the press hates Bolsonaro as they hate every right political in any country. They hated Trump, they hate Viktor Orban, they hate Bolsonaro.

You know where else has homeless people near luxury brands? The USA!

I'm from Asia and I hope Brazil can reverse its fate and become a superpower. We need more superpowers that are good superpowers to act as counter balance. Russia alone is not enough to counter the evil superpowers.
LOL @ Russia being a good superpower.
@@shauncameron8390 so good, almost a third of their military is now destroyed
In short , Brazil just needs a good leader. Better leaderships would make Brazil productive due to big land mass and natural resources.
I would say Russia is a military super power not an economic one
As a brazillian I'd say we are unhinged because our economy is focused towards exterior, we export crops, livestock, wood and minerals, to gain manufactureds in return, and whenever there is global turmoil we get our economy's chains shaking causing inflation thus incresing wealth inequality
Good and constructive attempt to translate what the country is, but misses some of the bigger picture. There's more to it, both pros and cons. The South / Southeast is very developed compared to let's say India almost everywhere, and especially the countryside. Large metros like São Paulo have the homeless problem just like in the US, and probably less in your face than extremes like LA/Santa Monica or San Francisco downtown post COVID-19, or Austin TX in recent times before they took care of it. The park shown is not a place where normal people hang out. You'll see less homeless around key parts of town. Traffic is brutal in São Paulo and there is no real attempt to create a great urban transportation infrastructure like most larger European cities. Corruption and the political system in Brazil are even more of a negative factor and deserved more attention. Certainly that guy can afford to buy meat, there is a significant middle class that has been squeezed by recent inflation, but still have the means for minimally decent living. There is a universal and free Health Care system that takes care of most of the poor in a way that is surprisingly better than most developing nations and even the US. Brazilians are slightly more biased against their own culture. There is a lot of 'grass is greener' elsewhere mentality, and yet, when the economy is not good enough for young professionals (definitely a factor now), there is certainly more exodus to foreign countries, with quite a few staying abroad and many other returning later. No hard work? A few young people having a few beers is normal in the best of economic times. Look further, on average, more hard working than many other places. Some of the world's finest corporations like the 3G group, who are close partners to Warren Buffet in a few investments, come from Brazil. Digital and financial startups like NuBank, XP, are changing the financial landscape, catching up and being in some ways more disruptive than in America or Europe. Brazil is an agricultural powerhouse, hard to compete with given scale and resources. Culture is open, positive, friendly, there is a lightness to how people interact. There is a reason why Brazil's most talented world renowned football or soccer players return to the country after they retire in Europe. I consider Brazil a middle order country (not poor and not rich all things considered) with very significant inequality, and a political system that needs to be fixed so real leaders can make a difference.
I love Brazil!! God bless our people and those who call Brazil home! Maybe it's not a best country in the World but it deserves some respect, Brazil is a country that was and is open arms for some many other countries and cultures!

Why do they even Use the GDP nominal as a metric ? JEEZ - economists must be getting paid by World bank or IMF or US Govt. The dollar itself is crumbling, inflation in US > 6% - rents have increased by 20-30%, coffee that was 2.5$ is now 3.5 - 3.75$. By this metric, the US economy also shrank by 5-10% over the last 1 year. No one states that.
GDP PPP is a better comparison of Economies. It accounts for inflation, buying power, differences in costs of living. I am pretty sure 1000$ in Brazil will be faaarrrr more comfortable than 1000$ in ANY PART OF US or western Europe. LET ALONE Midwest US - which has the cheapest costs of living.
1 bed apartments in majority of US cities are > 800$, but yes GDP nominal US is great! Same applies to every big European economy. Cost of living is so expensive, but GDP Nominal is high, so their economy is great !
When will people realize that what you make isn't important - WHAT YOU CAN GET FOR WHAT YOU MAKE IS ! JEEZ.
Brazil has huge inequalities arising from historical issues too complex to be discussed in a UA-cam comment section and It's a really democratic country. These two facts generate the following result: the distributive conflict in Brazil is difficult to manage, if not impossible. What leads to a structural fiscal deficit situation. And a very intense rent-seeking process that not only generates imbalances in the public budget, but distorts the functioning of sectors from a microeconomic perspective. Much inequality has also impacted the issue of education. The country started too late to take care of human capital and did not use demography to its advantage.
So, Brazil is a country with structural fiscal fragility that messes up the macroeconomy. And it has a serious productivity problem because of pressure group rent-seeking and low-quality education on the microeconomic side.
Brazilian here. Our problema is basically inflation due to corrupted system, lack of punishment in corruption cases, corrupt presidents, corrupt court.
Having the Amazon (plus the river with same name) and 10.959 km of coast a band thing? Not at all! The problems are the acess to education, technology and training that you mentioned later in the video, but not this two geographic points. In matter of fact, the problems that i have pointed are the reason why we can't explore those thing more more efficiency.

Ele foi em São Paulo e ficou impressionado, porém os mesmos problemas estão presentes em todas grandes cidades. O que o Brasil precisa mudar é PRIVATIZAR tudo, tirar tudo da mão do governo, assim vai diminuir a corrupção, por exemplo correios, Petrobras, tudo isto tem que ser privatizado, depois os brasileiros buscarem por qualificação superior e ter mente empreendedora e não de lavar banheiro nos Estados Unidos, e por último não eleger nem lula e tampouco bolsonaro, eles foram os últimos e o país continua horrível.

I lived in Brazil for 13 yrs. Brazil's logistics, high taxes, poor public services, the poor educational system keep Brazil struggling and relatively expensive, unfortunately.
As a Brazilian, I have to say that Brazilians are not able to manage a country. Even if we had all of the tools with a roadmap on how to do it, we would still not be able to get it right. Brazilians and counter-intuitiveness go hand in hand.
The video was way too short to be able to properly speak about the real struggle in Brazil. Let's say it was a short video and the long one is on the way
And to think brazil's currency was among to most powerful in the world a decade ago but its minimum wage was still low
We had a rich State with poor people. There has been no tax or administrative reform for several years.
You are doing great job , keep doing it Uptin👍
I'm an economist in Brazil, so let me say that we have not grown substantially in terms of GDP per capita since the 80s. Still, our democratic institutions have become really solid, and that's what is going to be very important for our growth in the near future.
Nice documentary 👌
You are wrong when you talk about rural areas. Nowadays people living in rural area in Brazil have a very god life quality and also the cities don't have the same problems like the big cities do.
Corruption destroys the Brazilian potential, the politicians are extremely corrupt and the population can accept anything bad their politicians do if they are from the party they like.
As a Brazilian, young entrepreneur who started from the bottom, I came from a very poor family, I can relate... And yes, our political decisions are always bad, and doesnt matter which side the politician is, corruption is a cultural thing. Its so deep inside our actions and the way our society works, that's like a utopia.
We seem to be forever the Country of the future, even being more blessed than a lot of wealthy countries, juts being naturally gifted by the Mother Nature: Good lands, different types of weather, one of the biggest varieties of cultures from the whole world, and yet, we seem to not getting far.
And I must say that to change all that, our people need to act first, which is unlikely to happen.
Brazilians are only hospitable to those who come from abroad, because we do have an internal competition, who is the most successful, people screwing themselves financially to buy a car or a house and show it off to the neighbors. The Brazilian middle class is a circus, we have a very serious problem with not liking to see the success of other Brazilians, and getting rich in Brazil, for many, only if you are bad and do bad things...
Great video. Your videos makes me want to travel.
Haha thanks sm for watching!
4 basic things:
1. Lack of innovation and growth in productivity, market competitiveness.
2. Low savings and investment rate, therefore low accumulation of capital
3. A stagnated and scrapped educational system
4. A broken labor market which makes labor expensive, inflexible leading to high permanent unemployment
With lots of idle workers who are poorly educated, working with much less capital than optimal and being very unproductive in all the production process, you can't be a superpower. Plus, as a shit bonus, idle workers don't learn or gain experience, low Productivity growth makes investment less attractive, low investment leads to fewer capital to employ labor and fewer technological upgrades in capital. There's no politician or political parties who'll address this, they don't even admit this is the problem. They either blame it on high taxes or inequality, which are indeed big problems in Brazil, but aren't the cause of our underdevelopment.
Nice work keep it up 💪 been watching you since 5k
Thanks so much for the support!
The problem with Brazil and the entire South America for that matter. Is that they are too far away geographically from the rest of the world.
That means anything that's made in South America needs to travel farther just to get to the consumers.
Also supply chains tend to stay concentrated, no company wants to have a manufacturing plant in China that makes the components and then send it all the way to South America for it to be assembled.
So the pillar industry for most South America is commodities, mining and agriculture, these don't have any supply chains, and just needs to be loaded on to a ship and send it to China or the US. But excessive reliance on Agriculture and local service industries means, most of the population don't get to take part in high value added jobs.
