Abstract

Brazil바카라 사이트™s recent growth has been intensely pro-poor, and both poverty and inequality have declined significantly in the last decade. It has been suggested that Brazil바카라 사이트™s unexpected successes are the outcome of a new model of development. The paper argues that Brazil바카라 사이트™s unique combination of economic and social policies is at the root of its inclusive growth, but it is poorly understood. An assessment as to whether this combination constitutes a model is perhaps premature, but it is worth considering whether there are any lessons from Brazil바카라 사이트™s development policies for Sub-Saharan African countries.
