A collection of IMF and external research on Brazil's successful growth performance and rapid reductions in poverty and inequality in the decade preceding the global financial crisis, and the equally sharp reversal of fortunes and growth following the slump of commodity prices. The book covers a range of key macroeconomic topics as well as issues of poverty, inequality, and inclusion, areas where Brazil has done particularly well.
