Ah ok , those are a very heterogeneous set of countries . I can try Brazil first , since it is my country . It never developed Capitalism , maybe an embrionary one . It has many practices from traditional economic systems , like semifeudalism in some places , extreme clientelism in others . Brazil ' s economy is very unfree and the most capitalistic state , So Paulo , is also the most economically developed one . Until very recently , the country was lead by a communistsocialistsocial democratphisiocratic coalition of parties , which was extremely corrupt , and did enormous damaged to the country ' s economy not only by corruption , but by retarded policies too . There are also damage done by this kind of idiocy in other sectors , like ivd 9 yyq 7 sh 679 cae 66 , healthcare , infrastructure , you name it . The guy was attributing Brazil problems to capitalism , but many of our problems can be traced to guys who use exactly the same rhetoric of the communists .
