1st episode of the series 'BRAZILIAN ECONOMY - The story told by those who made it'
1492 - 1808 - Brazil of Portugal
THE SERIES
In the series 'BRAZILIAN ECONOMY - The story told by those who made it' the trajectory of Brazil is told from the economic point of view by some of the main protagonists of the recent history of the country.
Ex-presidents of the Republic, ex-ministers, ex-leaders of the Central Bank, great businessmen, bankers, economists, historians, journalists and academics report the adventures and misfortunes of the country since 1,492 and discuss solutions for the Brazilian economy.
The agile cut, the simple language, the graphic animations and the archival images (historical paintings and works of art, period photographs and TV news images), make the Brazilian saga even more interesting.
In its first 388 years, Brazil was a slave; in the 1950s, 50% of Brazilians were illiterate; in the late 1980s, monthly inflation reached 84% and 35% were poor and miserable. In 2013 Brazil was the seventh largest economy in the world, inflation was 5.4%, poverty had been reduced to 12% and the country aspired to be rich. “Brazil is the country of the future” and “now Brazil will work”, mantras of the phases of optimism, have always been followed by crises. Success was, again, fleeting.
