He argues that Brazil is too large to fail and too important to be ignored.On a risk adjusted basis Brazil is perhaps the leading emerging market. It is mispriced by foreign investors who are currently focused on negative market sentiment created by past corruption which is now significantly diminished and by domestic crime which has fallen.
