It's a bio-fuels pioneer on the fast track to energy self-sufficiency, a booming haven for foreign investment and a test case for a new approach to governance in Latin America. Can Brazil successfully chart a new path that overcomes the country's grinding poverty and its tide of violent crime, while still preserving the country's unique environment? Veteran public radio journalist David Brown takes listeners on a personal journey across the country, exploring Brazil's view of itself, its neighbors, and the world.
