BRAZIL: Lula’s mixed bag of economic policies
Brazil’s leftist former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2011), the frontrunner to win the country’s top job in the October elections, this week provided more guidelines on what his economic policies would look like.

Others suggest Lula and his economic advisors have reviewed policies that didn’t work so well the last time around.
