Cost of Living and Fiscal Responsibility Clash in Brazil’s Election

“Brazilians are saying they want a tough leader. They want someone who’s going to be strong on crime, and especially the drug trade, and someone who is going to address cost-of-living issues, which sounds like a lot of places today. But that’s very different from what investors are looking at,” says Rebecca Patterson, host of The Spillover. In the newest episode of the podcast, Patterson and Shannon K. O’Neil, senior vice president of studies Maurice R. Greenberg chair at CFR, unpack the fiscal tensions surrounding Brazil’s upcoming presidential runoff election.
