this is stupid

Repaired vandalism; the first mention of the year 1985 in the section "Stagnation, inflation, and crisis, 1981-93" was changed to 2198 by 76.119.170.61. I happened to notice it and changed it back. I never do any edits but this was egregious. Sorry if I've violated any protocols. Oh yeah, and it looks like I should have marked it as a minor edit.

1994-2002 Period

I suggest moving the any important economic information from the period 1994 to 2002 to this page.

Move FHC to brazilian economic history.

Let Economy of Brazil deal with current issues, reform proposals, recent statistic and so on. Herbert Alves 20:17, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

1994-2002 period added

Since nobody bothered to answer, I added the mentioned period from scraps of Economy of Brazil. Feel free to improve it, it has to be improved.

I hope the added period is seen as it is, as a early draft. Herbert Alves 04:08, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Import-substitution industrialization, 1945-64

In this page the following sentence is presented. "In the second half of the 1950s, the government enacted a series of special programs intended to better orient the industrialization process, to remove bottlenecks, and to promote vertical integration (see Glossary) in certain industries."

My question is: What Glossary? this reeks of poorly done copy pase, or at least of a displaced glossary...

This article was mostly cut and pasted from a public domain source. I should have removed the "see glossary" part when I adapted the original to Wikipedia format. Thanks for catching that mistake.--Bkwillwm 01:42, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fact checking

Whoever in the future decides to fact check this article, you may also want to check this realted article as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samba_effect. Happy editing. Vietminh (talk) 07:20, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, taliking about fact-checking, the GDP growth rates for the Lula period given in the article are wrong. 187.34.76.81 (talk) 01:22, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
