摘要：Marcílio Marques Moreira, a diplomat and former finance minister, says that “today only one thing is certain about the crisis: its severity.” “The previous crises were restricted to a given commodity or to a certain number of countries; this time the crisis is global.” He believes the government is making a mistake by not preparing the country for the after math of the crisis, when the world will be much more competitive. He also criticizes those who claim to see the light at the end of the tunnel, because it is still not even clear that there is a tunnel to lead us out of the crisis. He thinks the government should convey confidence but warns against exaggeration: “Confidence, yes, but no illusion.”
