People also ask, why is Brazil underdeveloped?
Brazil is underdeveloped because its economy failed to grow or grew too slowly for most of its history. At the time of independence (1822) Brazil had one of the least productive economies in the western hemisphere, with a per capita GDP lower than any other New World colony for which we have estimates.
Similarly, why some countries are developed and some are underdeveloped? Economic factors - some countries have very high levels of debt . This means that they have to pay a lot of money in interest and repayments and there is very little left over for development projects. Environmental factors - some places experience environmental issues, which can prevent them from developing.

What's wrong with Brazil?
