November 14th - November 20th 2009

This week we report on a country which has long had promise, and is finally delivering. The bracketing of Brazil with China, India and Russia as one of the world's future titans has often been queried. But now, as our 14-page special report on business and finance in Brazil shows, the country is finally taking off.
