		By far the largest and most populous country in South America, Brazil overcame more than half a century of military intervention in the governance of the country when in 1985 the military regime peacefully ceded power to civilian rulers.

		MARIANA is one of the major colonial towns, and in the first half of the eighteenth century was grander by far than its younger rival 12km to the west, Ouro Preto.
		Despite regular riots and the war between Paulistas and the Portuguese, Mariana was the administrative centre of the gold mines of central Minas until the 1750s.
		Yet today Mariana's churches are far less grand than its illustrious neighbour's, and it's really no more than a large village, albeit one that is steadily expanding.

	BBC News \| TALKING POINT \| Argentina: Should people be given free access to their bank accounts?
		On one hand this brings to memory the bank freeze that former President Collor subjected Brazilians to in the early 1990s, and I remember how angry people were, it hurt the least advantaged the most.
		But then, this stance would be hypocritical because we were in the same situation during our bank freeze in Brazil and I know the indignation people are feeling.
		But I would direct that indignation less towards the Argentinean politicians and more towards the IMF and World Bank, who are comfortably sitting in their offices in DC while Argentineans (and the whole developing world) languish due to the disastrous economic policies they imposed on our countries.
