Do you have statistics to prove this? The Brazilian real is trending a bit higher in the exchange markets, but this is probably unsustainable, given the intense class polarization of Brazilian society and the hurt that a high real has put on exports. Or is the improvement, if any, limited to the steel workers or employees of foreign multinationals? -- Dennis --- from list marxism-thaxis-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
