Look to Brazil for safe, stable investments As the future of the American economy seems to get bleaker by the day, it is tempting to look abroad for business opportunities. Europe and Asia don't provide much hope, but what about somewhere that's both closer to home and sunny year-round? In Brazil is the New America: How Brazil Offers Upward Mobility in a Collapsing World, James D. Davidson shows that the current financial situation in Brazil is a haven for those looking to make money in a world in turmoil. With a population just 62 percent the size of that of the US, Brazil has added 15,023,633 jobs over the past eight years, while the US has lost millions. In a world burdened by bankrupt governments and aging populations, Brazil is solvent, with two people of working age for every dependent. In a world of "Peak Oil" Brazil is energy independent, with 70 billion barrels of oil, 60% of the world's unused arable land, and 15% of its fresh water. Comparatively non-leveraged--and with significant room for growth and expansion, as well as vast natural resources, Brazil is a haven of opportunity. Written by James D. Davidson, the editor/publisher of Strategic Investment and cofounder of Agora and the media outlet, Newsmax, Brazil is the New America details: * How the original "America" now embodies the brightest hope for realizing the American Dream while the "Old America" is headed for a dramatic decline in the standard of living * Investment opportunities not only for those willing to relocate, but anyone who can consider investing there * The cost structure of employment in Brazil versus the United States Brazil has already learned its lesson about the dangers of inflation. Cash has taken the place of credit, and high interest rate returns are now the norm.

Praise for Brazil Is the New America "This is a book about your future. If you wonder why Morgan Stanley chief investment strategist David Darst warns that Brazil is becoming more like what America used to be and America is becoming more like what Brazil used to be, look no further. James Davidson explains it perfectly." Donald Trump "There's a lot that Americans can learn from other countries. In this book, James Davidson offers an insightful analysis of the surprisingly promising Brazilian economy. You will learn how 'the country of the future' holds promise whether you're an investor or an entrepreneur." Chris Ruddy, CEO and President, Newsmax Media "Brazil Is the New America is far better than the title suggests. The title tells you that you're going to find out why Brazil is the next America, which you think you already know, but the book gives readers far more--the hidden role of BTUs, the Little Ice Age, and 'debtism.' In a way, it's a shame to find these tucked away in a book on Brazil. I read the Financial News and the Financial Times every day--Roubini, Ferguson, Grant, Hendry, Wolf--but Jim Davidson's macro-historical writing is the best. It is original. It is dense. It is clever." Bill Bonner, bestselling author "Today's default view of the future says all prophets are false prophets: since we cannot divine determinate trends, we ought to learn to cope with uncontrollable surprises. In Brazil Is the New America, James Davidson wisely rejects this prevailing attitude, making definite forecasts with uncanny prescience. America's preeminence will give way as Davidson predicts, unless we confront and reverse the decelerating economic progress he so deftly describes." Peter Thiel, entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist; cofounder, PayPal "James Davidson has written the best account of the development of the Brazilian economy, which is now outstripping the United States. I strongly recommend Brazil Is the New America: How Brazil Offers Upward Mobility in a Collapsing World." Lord William ReesMogg, former Editor, The Times of London
