Brazil is rich in natural resources 2. The revenue from those reources is misused 3. If properly administered we could all have a middle class standard of living without doing much. This idea is all wet, but persistant. Might work for a tiny country like Nauru, but not for Brazil, even if commodities could be demonstrated to have worked miracles in ANY modern country.

Just remember the "Beef economy" of Argentina during almost 100 years. - João da Silva Fri, 24 Aug 2007 18:25:22 +0100 "the growing demand for commodities from China and India, ".......... http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8595/54/#pc_10885 Therefore why bother the developed countries....At the WTO ? And why talk only about Agricultural products and never about Textiles and other Industrial goods. You even expect China to increase buying your agricultural goods while at the same time REDUCE their textile exports to Brazil ! Lets face it, you want a ONE WAY TRADE ONLY .......ONE W.T.O. !!!!!!!!!! :) :D ;D - ch.c. Fri, 24 Aug 2007 18:23:26 +0100
