Brazil Is the New America

Praise for Brazil Is the New America This is a book about your future. If you wonder why Morgan Stanley chief investment strategist David Darst warns that Brazil is becoming more like what America used to be and America is becoming more like what Brazil used to be, look no further. James Davidson explains it perfectly. -Donald Trump There's a lot that Americans can learn from other countries. In this book, James Davidson offers an insightful analysis of the surprisingly promising Brazilian economy. You will learn how 'the country of the future' holds promise whether you're an investor or an entrepreneur. -Chris Ruddy, CEO and President, Newsmax Media Brazil Is the New America is far better than the title suggests. The title tells you that you're going to find out why Brazil is the next America, which you think you already know, but the book gives readers far more-the hidden role of BTUs, the Little Ice Age, and 'debtism.' In a way, it's a shame to find these tucked away in a book on Brazil. I read the Financial News and the Financial Times every day-Roubini, Ferguson, Grant, Hendry, Wolf-but Jim Davidson's macro-historical writing is the best. It is original. It is dense. It is clever. -Bill Bonner, bestselling author Today's default view of the future says all prophets are false prophets: since we cannot divine determinate trends, we ought to learn to cope with uncontrollable surprises. In Brazil Is the New America, James Davidson wisely rejects this prevailing attitude, making definite forecasts with uncanny prescience. America's preeminence will give way as Davidson predicts, unless we confront and reverse the decelerating economic progress he so deftly describes. -Peter Thiel, entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist; cofounder, PayPal James Davidson has written the best account of the development of the Brazilian economy, which is now outstripping the United States. I strongly recommend Brazil Is the New America: How Brazil Offers Upward Mobility in a Collapsing World. -Lord William Rees-Mogg, former Editor, The Times of London
