klaser said population did not perceived themselves as wealthy. Wealth was supposed to be post-industrial societies.

Therein lies the misperception. Ordinary people were persuaded that an economy based on high tech was wealthier than another economy based on other resources.
The university establishment promoted that idea too.

Do you remember how much I tried to tell MQ that making money out of the patents you have is wealth but not as much as compared to a productive economy.

Drove 500Km Curitiba - Caieiras. The country is booming!!!

Left Saturday on the road I noticed two things: the amount of truck transporting new vehicles.

And special transport trucks transporting heavy construction parts. And I was thinking: this is Brazil growing below 2%, I imagine if we'd be growing 4% as Dilma plans.

São Paulo is overlfojng into smaller communities the so-called dormitory-cities. Those cities -called Great São Paulo- are connected to São Paulo via trains.

I'm the only one who left the place. My family is spread over that area.

Suffered a lot during lost decade. Now improving. Was there for wedding of my niece the only such time the Elmat Clan get together.
