After economic troubles in the 1990s, Brazil has risen to new global prominence — it’s drawing in more investment, working on global issues ranging from climate change to peacekeeping, and even hosting the 2016 Olympics. But some of Brazil’s trickiest problems have held it back.  Guest GD speaker Dick Virden will lead the discussion.  Dick retired from the Senior Foreign Service of the Department of State in 2004 with the rank of Minister-Counselor.  He was Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. embassy in Brazil from 2002 to 2004.  Bud and Carol Hayden host at the Winslow House Party Room.  Sorry, not open to guests; to join the MCC Great Decisions Discussion Group, email the MCC office at info@millcitycommons.org.  Registration on the MCC website is required for Great Decisions members.
