Glenn, the article touches the crux of the mater of the last 3 decades which "...was an exercise in reconciling popular demand for political openness while upholding the benefits of vested interest groups that had flourished under military rule." Bolsonaro will win and he will face big resistance as the tap wil be closed from one day to another. The ones on the losing side will get the press on their side. But the population will be on his side.

Today is Saturday. I have to go Political. Tomorrow, we will right the wrong my friends. And all the bleeding hearts socialists of the Süddeutsche Zeitung, El Pais, the NYT, The Guardian, The Economist and its sister paper the FT, can write whatever they want, but we will do the right thing tomorrow.

Companies and investors have been holding back while awaiting the outcome of the voting, and a victory by Mr. Bolsonaro, the market’s favorite, should unlock much of that money and spur faster growth, at least in the short term. Longer-term growth will depend on whether Mr. Bolsonaro follows through on his economic plans—and whether Congress backs them. Bolsonaro could rack up early legislative wins. Mr. Bolsonaro’s apparent success in winning over Brazilian voters should also help him gain the support of enough members of Congress to get many of his proposals approved. His party won 52 seats in the 513-seat lower house of Congress, up from one seat in the 2014 election, and he is expected to have the backing of large groups of evangelical and farm-state legislators who like his espousal of Christian values and his plans to ease regulations on farmers. Mr. Bolsonaro might have to soften some unpopular proposals, such as for pension reform, to win over more centrist congressmen. https://www.wsj.com/articles/5-things-to-know-about-brazils-presidential-election-on-sunday-1540641600?mod=e2tw
