A British Entrepreuner in Brazil
I started to read Mark's articles in 2012. I like his writting style, as the content, as well. When he suggested me to read the e-book Reality Check: Life in Brazil through the eyes of a foreigner I just took a look inside and decided to download it. Mark is a real example of entrepreneur!!! He has moved to Brazil and started a new business there, dealing with different cultures in a giant country. In his book he gives lots of information, according to his personal view.

The economic team’s credibility gap Rousseff’s economic team lacks the balance and credibility shown in previous administrations, says João Augusto de Castro Neves. He analyzes what this implies for effective policymaking amid faltering domestic economic indicators and political uncertainties.
Recycling: Who pays for it?
After decades of discussion there is now a draft National Solid Waste Policy that seeks to integrate government, business, and civil society. Claudio Accioli, Solange Monteiro, and Kalinka Iaquinto explain why revisions are needed if the effort is not to be wasted.
INTERVIEW
Is European monetary unification sustainable? As the International Monetary Fund Executive Director for Brazil and other Latin American and Caribbean countries, Paulo Nogueira Batista Jr., has had a privileged view of efforts to mitigate a continuing global crisis whose consequences are still unpredictable. In an interview with Claudio Accioli, he gives his personal opinion on risks to the survival of the euro and the decision of Brazil’s central bank to start cutting the benchmark interest rate.
SEMINAR Untapped wealth
Because it is a relatively new way to classify economic activities that have a cultural or intellectual property element, and it covers such varied activities as game development and regional handicrafts, the potential of the creative economy in Brazil has not yet been prioritized by either the market or the government, so public policies for its development are lacking. Experts at the First International Conference on the Creative Economy, organized by Conjuntura Econômica and The Brazilian Economy magazines, look at all the ramifications. Claudio Accioli, Solange Monteiro, and Thais Thimoteo report.
