Brazil despite some problems with poverty in certain segments and the crime that goes with it, is largely in the place that the US was 100 years ago.

Largely undeveloped with tremendous natural resources completely untapped.

They have a market economy with huge oil reserves . They haven’t gotten to the point of punishing achievement yet.

IMO, that's the most important thing. Having natural resources is meaningless without it.

Looks like she has great potential. While we're on the downward slide. ;(
