[00:00.000]Today in the studio we have Alberto Cortez, the well-known Brazilian advocate of the anti-global movement.
[00:08.025]He's here to talk about the recent report, stating that by 2050 Brazil will be the one of the world's wealthiest and most successful countries.
[00:17.362]Alberto, what do you say to this report?
[00:20.311]You know this isn't the first time that people are saying Brazil will be a great economic power.
[00:26.347]The same thing was said over 100 years ago. But it didn't happen.
[00:31.494]Yes, but you must admit the world's a very different place now.
[00:35.757]Of course. In fact I believe there may be some truth in the predictions this time around.
[00:41.230]First of all, though, we must remember the problems facing Brazil at the moment.
[00:46.728]Such as…? There's an enormous gap between the rich and the poor in this country.
