vôo da galinha (chicken hops): If you have ever seen a chicken try to fly you have an idea of what Brazil used to look like: spindly legs hopping faster and faster, a flutter into the air, hovering, then crashing back to earth amid squawks and feathers. The pattern repeated itself through much of the 20th century. The economy would gather strength and speed, apparently poised for take-off, only to end up splat.

What analysts called the vôo da galinha (chicken hops) were all the more frustrating because the potential of such a vast, populous, dynamic country was immense.
