Dilma's economic policies seem about right to me. I'm not surprised at all. Brazil has been very well led in the Lula/Dilma period.

I believe that over a long period Brazil will have better growth than Argentina because I don't believe they will have as severe a business cycle (less boom but also much less bust). Brazil also has fewer disputes with trade partners which will help over a long period.

I don't see anything about currency wars or trade wars or military purchases in this article. Dilma is probably less interested in building up the military than Lula was (or because of economic slowdown Brazil can afford less).

In my opinion Dilma is a better leader than CFK. I also believe she is a better leader than Cameron or my President, Obama.
