At the outset of the century, Brazil was one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. In 2017, it faces political, economic, and moral crises. What were the causes of this drastic shift? Are there prospects for beneficial political and economic change in 2017? Will the 2018 Brazilian election offer a way to move beyond the corruption, political turmoil, and economic mismanagement that have plagued the country in recent years?
On May 15, Hudson Institute’s Center for Latin American Studies will host a discussion with Rubens Antonio Barbosa, former Brazilian ambassador to the United States. Ambassador Barbosa will offer remarks on the outlook for Brazil and the policies needed to turn around Brazil’s economy. Hudson Senior Fellow Ambassador Jaime Daremblum will moderate the discussion.
This event will be live streamed on Hudson’s homepage. A light lunch will be available at 11:45 am and the program will begin at noon.
