A broadly-shared vision of where the country should be going and how to get there Something similar to the developmentalism of President Juscelino Kubitschek “50 years in 5” – and what should be the slogan for the next Brazilian president? We propose a competition to chose a slogan which can help moblize the country’s energy But a central axis of the new development strategy should be e-development
