Hey Mr Zeihan ….
One of the only few countries in the Western Hemisphere , outside the US and Canada with continental dimensions , single language and currency is Brazil.
Yes, I know you haven’t given great raving reviews on the Country’s Demography as it is skewered and I want to remind you data from US Department of State , and Brazil’s IBGE Census are garbage. The issue is not the size of the base of pyramid , but rather earning power across the pyramid.
The Geography, you are getting not quite 100% ( the plateau in the mountain range towards the sea border is not as challenging as you made out to be , aka Serra do Mar and Atlantic Florest ). Besides , more sea ports are being built in the North to add existing ones …
Imperatriz , MÁ
Belem, PA
Suape
Vitória , ÉS
Santos , SP ( needs dredging , lots corruption at the docks , issues with Port Authority
Rio de Janeiro ( undergoing commercial gentrification )
Tubarão ,SC ( expanding )
Paranaguá, PR ( expanding capacity and dredging , the Chinese have put money where mouth is )
Rio Grande and Pelotas, RS . Lots of upside. Dormant . On a flat land estuary.
The politicians. Both sides of the aisle and other coalition parties made up of morons. Not as bad as Argentinians.
BRICS alliance. A pipe dream doom to fail , Lula’s ideologues and the Agribusiness lobby on the far right both are misguided
Well…
We almost agree on fundamentals , we might have our differences are a matter of factual opinions.
But you are a rockstar with earned kudos , and I am a armchair Joe Nobody.
But it would be really awesome if you could sum up Brazil under your lenses.
So, whaddya you say , huh ?
