The 2011 TIME 100 - Dilma Rousseff
It's not easy being the first woman to govern your country. Beyond the honor it signifies, there are still prejudices and stereotypes to confront. Nor is it easy to govern an emerging nation: when societies begin to see the light of development at the end of the tunnel, there is a surge of optimism and enthusiasm, but the challenges become more complex and the citizenry more demanding. It's harder still to govern a country as large and globally relevant as Brazil.
Dilma Rousseff, 63, has all of this ahead of her. Brazil is living a unique moment in its history, one of great opportunity, which requires a leader with solid experience and firm ideals. Dilma offers precisely that virtuous combination of wisdom and conviction that her country needs. Brazil's new President is a courageous fighter who stood up to its former military dictatorship and has dedicated her life to building a democratic alternative for development, social equality and women's rights.

The 2011 TIME 100 - Joseph Stiglitz.
It's said that the day when the arms dealer Alfred Nobel picked up his newspaper and was shocked to find an obituary calling him a "merchant of death," he decided to dedicate the rest of his life to supporting peace and prosperity. Hence the Nobel Prize. It was good that he changed, because he has made it possible for us to honor people who have changed our view of the world for the good.
Joe Stiglitz, 68, has chaired President Clinton's Council of Economic Advisers, served as the World Bank's chief economist and developed theories that will be remembered long after current controversies die down, because he has delivered to us a better understanding of economics, particularly with the crucial insight that markets aren't always efficient.
The return to political economy is under way — even if the journey is through the rather messy area of behavioral economics — after the revelations of the deficiencies of a purely market-based approach. Joe's Nobel Prize–winning work on information asymmetries is a crucial part of this journey.
He got the Asian crisis right, foresaw the bubble that caused such havoc in 2008 and is advocating global answers to a host of problems that can no longer be solved at the local or national level. This worldview is the essential dimension missing in economic-policy making but which has to be at the core of the next ways forward. Now a distinguished professor at Columbia, Joe is a brilliant intellect, a great conversationalist, and because his work goes on challenging us all to rethink our ideas, he will always be a controversialist wherever he goes.

A TIME DESTE SEMANA!

USA: PERIGO À VISTA.
Apenas para melhor entendimento do que ocorre com os Estados Unidos, em um de seus recentes posts, MÍRIAM LEITÃO comentou parte do problema e a TIME conseguiu, em uma única imagem, mostrar a real situação.
Os Estados Unidos voltam a vivenciar um quadro de deterioração das contas externas. Em maio, a balança comercial registrou déficit de US$ -42,3 bilhões, o maior desde novembro de 2008. No ano, o saldo está negativo em US$ -198 bi contra US$ -144 bi em igual período de 2009. No acumulado em 12 meses, piorou de US$ -411 bi em abril para U$ -429 bi em maio.
Enquanto as exportações somaram US$ 152,25 bilhões - alta de 2,4% sobre o mês anterior, as importações fecharam em US$ 194,51 bilhões, o que representa aumento de 2,9%. Houve queda nas compras de petróleo e aviões para uso civil, mas alta nas importações de carros, produtos farmacêuticos e roupas.
- Lentamente, a corrente de comércio se recupera - está em patamar próximo a outubro de 2008, mas as importações, na margem, estão crescendo mais, o que fez o déficit comercial entrar em trajetória de piora novamente - dizem os economista do Banco Fator em relatório enviado ao blog.

LULA NA LISTA DA TIME 2010!
Como faz anualmente a TIME publicou hoje a lista das pessoas mais influentes do mundo. E nela consta o perfil do Presidente LULA, assinado pelo cineasta Michael Moore. É uma boa notícia termos um brasileiro na lista, indiferente do juízo de valor que cada um tem sobre o mesmo. Abaixo o texto completo sobre o assunto.
When Brazilians first elected Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva President in 2002, the country's robber barons nervously checked the fuel gauges on their private jets. They had turned
By the time Lula finally won the presidency, after three failed attempts, he was a familiar figure in Brazilian national life. But what led him to politics in the first place? Was it his personal knowledge of how hard many Brazilians must work just to get by? Being forced to leave school after fifth grade to support his family? Working as a shoeshine boy? Losing part of a finger in a factory accident?
No, it was when, at age 25, he watched his wife Maria die during the eighth month of her pregnancy, along with their child, because they couldn't afford decent medical care.
There's a lesson here for the world's billionaires: let people have good health care, and they'll cause much less trouble for you.
And here's a lesson for the rest of us: the great irony of Lula's presidency — he was elected to a second term in 2006 and will serve through this year — is that even as he tries to propel Brazil into the First World with government social programs like Fome Zero (Zero Starvation), designed to end hunger, and with plans to improve the education available to members of Brazil's working class, the U.S. looks more like the old Third World every day.
