Repeated subordination

Brazil might well be a different country altogether had it, at certain decisive moments, taken the course that would have led it down a path quite distinct from the one we are following today. In reality, however, it was led to take paths that simultaneously promoted a model of growth which, rather than ensuring its autonomy and independence, entangled it in a web that condemned it to remain dependent and subordinate; and, for some of its regions, the notion of inequality and backwardness became its defining characteristic. Noval Benayon Mello's book outlines the possible paths we need to take not only to restore Brazil, but to rebuild it, with a firm commitment to the greater interests of Brazilians and their future.
