Lula started juts like him... In the 1960’s and 1970’s, there was a lot of work in the industrial factories of São Paulo, but little in the way of worker’s rights. Lula became very involved in the movement to unionize the workers, and due to his natural leadership he rose quickly in the ranks of the union leadership. In the 1970’s he led several strikes, and was jailed for a while. In 1978 he was elected head of a steel-workers’ union. He became convinced that the true path to fair treatment for workers was not through unions and strikes, but through political power latinamericanhistory.about.com I hope Tan follows in his footsteps

W. Street Journal compares Brazil of 1964-74 to China today. The interesting point here is there´s no word of Volcker jacking up rates to double digit sunk Brazil and created the fleecing of the Lost Decade. Now when you read Chanos talking about a China collapse you know what the rest of the world is aiming at... Chinomics: The Fallacy of the Beijing Consensus China's debt-fuelled growth looks remarkably similar to the experience of Brazil in the late 1960s. online.wsj.com

>>i like tan guocheng<< He reminds me of myself at that age. I never went out on strike, but I did help start a Teamsters union local once. China right now reminds me of the USA in the 1970s. We had that huge wave of baby boomers moving out on their own, becoming adult consumers, and undergoing "household formation". There was serious inflation and incessant labor strikes. Then the switch flipped around 1980, when Paul Volcker crushed inflation and Ronal Reagan crushed the air traffic controllers union.
