The largest country in Latin America - in terms of population, land mass, and economy - is a crown worn indisputably by Brazil. But the history of this land, spanning four timezones and over five centuries of development, is one marked by tumultuous governance and political conflict, with different crowns worn by monarchs, military dictators, and democratic politicians alike, ruling over a teeming population of millions of former slaves, colonists and wannabe conquistadors. Tonight, we are joined by Lance from Lance’s Legion to help us work out the nuances of this complex and fascinating country, as well as impart some of the potential lessons of managing a large and complex demography with high rates of poverty and crime. -- Brought to you by -- Very special guest General Lance https://link.space/@LancesLegion Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAioE7UWN_tV6gVFcqQZqPw DVX Publishing - https://www.dvxpublishingcompany.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/LancesLegion with Adam Smith New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html - http://myth20c.com ~~-- Donations --~~ Ethereum: 0x4d3617C1C5b466E2BE1aD1F7D85C03DBBa6F6bb7 BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/ - http://theamericansun.com - http://twitter.com/myth20c -
