Why is Brazil, which is rich in resources and vast in territory, not ranked among the developed countries in the world? When it comes to Brazil, the first thing that comes to mind is the football kingdom, which is not only the largest country in South America, but also a member of BRICS and G20. Brazil enjoys a superior geographical position, adjacent to the North Atlantic, with a land area of 8510.5 million hectares and a population of more than 200 million, making it the fifth largest land power in the world. The region is rich in ecological resources, with rare metals such as iron, nickel, manganese, aluminum, lead, tin and gold, and its crude oil reserves rank among the highest in the world.

In principle, such superior natural standards and good comprehensive national strength are very important and reasonable in the world. But up to now, Brazil has no sense of superiority, and its average GDP is only 892 1, which is still far from the standards of developed countries. Why?

1. The influence of colonial history In countries with colonial history, there is a rule that as long as they were originally British colonies, most of them became developed countries after independence. Almost all countries colonized by Italy or Spain have become developed countries.

This result is largely related to the existing political system of the colonial sovereign state. Britain is the first capitalist society in the world to establish a democratic monarchy. Where the colony is located, its advanced socialist democratic system and economic structure have also been transplanted to the colony. After the independence of this colony, the capitalist society established according to the British model has an excellent political system and rapid social and economic development.

Spain and Spain were still in the period of feudal autocracy when they started colonial expansion. What they brought to Spain and Brazil for colonization was naturally a backward feudal social system. After independence, this country inherited the backward feudal social and political system, and its development path has a long way to go compared with the innate bourgeoisie.

Compared with the United States, which is also located in South America, Spain, the former suzerain country of Brazil, brought Brazil, which means that compared with the backward political party and economic system of the United States, the traditional planting area is the main production technology.

The United States is a pure capitalist society established in the wasteland based on immigrant investment. The United States not only brought advanced industrial technology, but also invested a lot of resources and funds every year. Born differently, the congenital disparity between the rich and the poor makes foreign countries become top powers, while Brazil is stagnant and its economy is sluggish.

Second, the national cohesion is insufficient. Although Brazil has a population of 209 million, its national structure is very complicated, which has a lot to do with the Spanish colonial period and the introduction of many immigrant investments. According to statistical analysis, the largest share of whites is 47%, hybrids are 43%, blacks are about 7.36%, there are 2. 1% orientals, and the rest are Indians.

Due to the great differences in culture and art among different races, the share of whites and hybrids is relatively close. Therefore, it is difficult for whites and hybrids to dominate the state power.

The lack of national identity makes China's cohesion impossible. Facing the difficulties of Brazil's development trend, different races can't unite and tide over the difficulties together. A country without national identity and cohesion cannot develop into a world power, nor can it gain an international reputation.

Third, laziness in work style leads to inefficiency. The whole country of Brazil, from individuals to government departments, is filled with a lazy atmosphere. This plasticity directly leads to the uneconomical scale of various tasks in social development.

Brazil's economy is underdeveloped, but its profits are good. The backwardness of industrial production leads to the lack of jobs, but ordinary people would rather rely on government departments to ensure adequate food and clothing than work hard. They are more keen on samba and happy football.

Brazilians love to find reasons to do things. Usually, because China's tax laws are complicated and easy to be punished, the overall planning is repeatedly postponed, thus missing the good opportunity. Therefore, dealing with Brazilians requires constant supervision and hands-on.

The same is true for local governments. The retirement system reform passed in March 2065438+2009 was not fully implemented until September. Sometimes it is difficult to complete a section of pavement in less than three years.

In this uneconomical atmosphere, the masses are not striving for progress, and China is not running smoothly. No matter how good the geographical conditions are, no matter how rich the network resources are, it is difficult to make full use of them immediately. If you want to become a powerful country, you can only think about it.

Fourth, the tax burden is heavy in Brazil, and accounting and lawyers have become the most prosperous positions, mainly because the local tax laws are not only complicated, but also change frequently. Without professional accounting and laws and regulations, a little carelessness will violate the regulations.

The contradiction between Brazil's backward industrial base and multiple interests is supported by high tax burden. In Brazil, in addition to various import duties in international trade, both parties to foreign trade transactions also need to pay taxes. And each state has different tax incentives. Even the local taxation bureau sometimes finds it difficult to find out the root of the problem when dealing with tax violations, and only gives a loophole in the system that they think is illegal.

The heavy and complicated tax burden makes the operating cost of enterprises rise continuously, which can only greatly increase the price of products, which is also the reason why the price in Brazil is outrageous. However, the transaction depression brought by the high price level has formed a vicious circle, which has aggravated the social and economic contraction.

It is precisely because of various problems in history and real life and high-quality social conditions that it is difficult for Brazil to achieve economic glory and rank among the developed countries.

Of course, it is not impossible for Brazil to reform and innovate, release its potential and make use of its inherent geographical advantages to become a world power. what do you think?
