Brazil has a large and heavily industrialized economy. It is however radically unequal (even by US terms) which may be why you think the country is poor as a whole. With a GDP of $2 trillion USD the Brazilian economy is comparable to Spain or Korea in size.
- darkwraithcov 3y agoThere are cities in Brazil that are relatively utopian compared to a lot of US cities. It’s not all Rio, but some people think it is.
- rpozarickij 3y agoI'm curious what do you mean by "utopian" and could you give some examples?
- darkwraithcov 3y agoCheck out Curitiba. It’s a beautiful clean city with very low crime and great public transportation. It’s more like Mountain View or Ann Arbor than Chicago or New Orleans. Compared to a city like Memphis or St Louis, it’s relatively utopian. It’s a .856 on the Human Development Index, which puts many US cities to shame.
