Time Is Running Out In Brazil (2001)
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
Fighting for a Seat at the Table: For more than a decade Brazil has opened itself to the global economy. Yet still the richest ten per cent of its people take half the nation's income while the poorest 40 per cent live on less than two dollars a day.

What’s happening in Brazil graphically poses the question of whether global economic pressures exact too high a cost in societies that are already among the most unequal in the world… The shift to an open economy in Brazil has come against a backdrop of extreme poverty that has left armies of destitute migrants drifting across the country in search of a means to survive. During the 80's, millions of Brazilians moved to the cities, many to the slums on the outskirts of Sao Paulo, where they often found work in factories. Now, with industries laying off workers to compete with new imports, and fulfil the strictures of the IMF, unemployment in the cities is worsening and people are returning to the already impoverished countryside.

Look at Venezuela, that country has been living the dream of these protestors and what was the result. Nationalization ,taking the land from the farmers moving non-farmers in from the city to run the farms commune style, taking over the factories letting untrained and uneducated workers run them. A bus driver now heads the Chavez Paradise, the farms led by non-farmers collapsed, leaving little food for the people to eat. Store shelves are empty. Factories have closed down leaving only oil for export. They can't feed themselves, they produce nothing to export, there is little to use to trade with other countries for food and factory produced items. They are completely dependent on selling oil to industrialized countries. Now that oil prices have fallen they have no money to import medicines, cars, buses, etc But they won victory over the capitalists, you can't it that however

In what predominately Catholic country can you not find crushing poverty? The role of the church ban on birth control has given central and South America crushing overpopulation resulting in starvation, uneducation people, child labor, and unwanted children.

Globalization and the "global economy" were never meant to help the poor...they were meant to kill them off. That's why those of us with a conscience need to fight off the Champagne Socialists.

The entire Amazon Basin is a cesspool which never should have been colonized by humans. The planet is small and round. Overpopulation is the biggest problem facing Humanity.

the problem in Brazil is corruption nothing else! look at now! we had the number 4 best company in the world PETROBRAS! WHAT HAPPEN? the party called PT workers party commanded by Inacio Lula da Silva destroy that company! they took more them 40 billions american Dollars from that company to pay for reelections of Lula them to elect Dilma the actual President wich is just about to been kick out from power is all over the news! those 2 people took money from Brazilian tax payers like none before was over 300 Billion dollars to pay politician so they had majority on parlament !
The only way for Brazil get up and start to recover in a real way is fist elect Bolsonaro the only politician who never was involved in scandal about corruption, then the law must change in the country in multiple areas especially new law for corruption! we have to clean up the corruption, by force if necessary! people have to get more educated about politics, the people have to make some sacrifice in changing there act as well!
But those things even if everything goes well would take at least 1 generation!
I am Brazilian and i live in Canada since 1987 so almost 30 years! I luck for me because this country if not the best is always in the 4 best countries to live! I cry many times watching this video I will do my part for my people by voting in the right people and trying to send messages as much as I can to people to vote to the right people and showing them links of important videos and telling people to get more educated about there politician in there states! that is the best i can do! -
Thank you for the documentary, this reality is still alive in Brazil today, I was so privilege and I'm so ashamed of my country and it's fascist society. And entire colonization on the shoulders and many dictatorships (funded and supported by CIA) consequences will hopefully disappear in this new century but while that people still suffering.

Brazil is worst than any ex-communist country just after changing the regime

They are hungry...poor, they should educate their children not to breed if they don't have the means to raise properly a family.I follow this advice and was easier to go by.

The good news is that Brazil is beginning to thrive, but it still has its problems.
-
Haven't we learned anything from Germany? How did they restore their economy after the WW1? Can anyone recall Labour Treasury Certificates? No? I wonder why? Because nobody conveniently teaches about that in any school!!!

Fucking globalists have the same track record, all over the globe. They loan money, providing temporary economic boost, and then taking the house down by sucking the country's resources through the interest for ever. King Phillip in France understood that, and that's why he had the Knights Templars killed, rather than paying them 80% interest.
These dumb asses in Sao Paulo, instead of shooting each other, should gang up and take out their rotten government. -

People were very poor at the beginning in North-America as well. People did not kill each or steal from each other.
