Brazil's economy. The world - and Latin America - increasingly seems to revolve around Brazil, especially with respect to economic, social and development issues. The South American giant has become a key reference point for efforts to reduce poverty, promote gender equality and export knowledge, for example. Brazil leads many global rankings: it is the world's sixth largest economy, the fifth largest country, the second world leader in terms of number of airports and the country with the most animal species. But perhaps most importantly, since 2003, 20 million Brazilians have escaped from poverty. The Brazil sem Miseria program seeks to end poverty by 2015.
