InfoTrac Reader Brazil Brazil has Latin America's largest population, its largest economy, and also the largest amounts of natural resources, and is thus a regional leader. Brazil had a recent history of military government and intervention in politics, but has maintained civilian rule since the end of the last military government in 1985. The October 2002 election of Lula da Silva inaugurated a new chapter in Brazil's history. Lula da Silva is the leader of the Worker's Party, which represents workers and the lower classes. The Bush administration was openly skeptical of da Silva and his policies, fearing his election could trigger more wins for moderate leftists and liberals in Latin America. Lula's financial policies have in general been responsible and have soothed international investors and international markets. Initial fears that Brazil would not make payments on international debts proved unfounded. Brazil enjoyed strong economic growth in 2004. An underpowered economy; Brazil.
