IMO, it is really much more complicated. There is no help for people who don't want to help themselves. Unfortunately the solutions are not always obvious nor popular. If annual inflation is 10% what should the apr be for producing food ? If there is a shortage of rice should the price be controledand rationing used to insure fair distribution?

Do you like films and books about political crisis? I love them. There is scene in one fo them that explains what happens today. Dylan baker as Secretary of Defense Robert Macnamara "... this is a language. a new vocabulary the likes the world has never seen..." (starts at 3:20) youtube.com "Thirteen Days" about JFK and his cabinet during the Cuban Missiles Crisis Today when we see governments' acts (in democratic open societies) in real time as a reality show, ordinary people do not understand what is going on and misinterprete and form the wrong opinions Governments of nations establish positions, and based on such positions they seat and negotiate. It means: before I negotiate, I state my intentions. But should push come to shove, there will be consequences. That language, as part of the nations' strategy, has a start and can escalate from there until people agree to seat and talk. How can we explain games nations play to the ordinary people? They can't understand the language like the admiral in that scene in the film. As a new administration sends language to the deep state, their economic partners and its opposition: This is basically what you should expect from us

It's just a week into 2019 and Brazil is the best stock market in the world. Parabens, Jair Bolsonaro. Until the army tanks roll in, as his opponents believed just four months ago, Brazil is on track to be the best performing market this quarter, if not in the first half of 2019. Based on the biggest, passive trades in the markets, the iShares MSCI Brazil is beating the SPDR S&P 500, Russia, India, China (duh), Mexico, FTSE Europe, Japan and the broader MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Fitch Solutions forecast Brazil's GDP growth to hit 2.4% this year, up from 1.3% last year. forbes.com
