Ep. 10: Daqui pra frente - Em busca do eixo da série 'ECONOMIA BRASILEIRA - A história contada por quem a fez' A SÉRIE Na série ‘ECONOMIA BRASILEIRA – A história contada por quem a fez’ a trajetória do Brasil é contada do ponto de vista econômico por alguns dos principais protagonistas da história recente do país. Ex-presidentes da República, ex-ministros, ex-dirigentes do Banco Central, grandes empresários, banqueiros, economistas, historiadores, jornalistas e acadêmicos relatam as aventuras e desventuras do país desde 1.492 e discutem soluções para a economia brasileira. O corte ágil, a linguagem simples, as animações gráficas e as imagens de arquivo (pinturas e obras de arte históricas, fotografias de época e imagens de telejornais), tornam a saga brasileira ainda mais interessante. Nos seus 388 primeiros anos o Brasil era escravista; na década de 1950, 50% dos brasileiros eram analfabetos; no final dos anos 1980, a inflação mensal atingiu 84% e 35% eram pobres e miseráveis. Em 2013 o Brasil era a sétima maior economia do mundo, a inflação era de 5,4%, a pobreza havia sido reduzida a 12% e o país aspirava a ser rico. “O Brasil é o país do futuro” e “agora o Brasil vai dar certo”, mantras das fases de otimismo, foram sempre seguidos de crises. O sucesso era, novamente, passageiro.
