Brasil caro
The Economist explica:
Por que o Brasil é tão caro
The
custo Brasil has many ingredients, including high taxes
(36% of GDP, way out of line with the 21% average for
upper-middle-income countries), swingeing import duties and rigid labour
laws that make it hard to use workers efficiently. Poor roads and a
limited rail network push up freight costs. High interest rates mean
firms must spend a packet on financing; high crime adds heavy security
costs to their overheads. A terrible education system makes Brazil the
world’s second-hardest place for firms to find the skills they need,

costs, which have doubled in a decade as big hikes to the minimum wage
set the tone for pay negotiations across the board, have added a new
ingredient to the old recipe
