By the middle of 2013, he had lost it all, engulfed in scandal. \u003cem\u003eBrazillionaires\u003c\/em\u003e is a fast-paced account of Batista's rise and fall, and of the rise and rise of the hyper-rich, not just in Brazil but the world over: a story of helicopter flights, high-speed car crashes, and beach-front penthouses. It is also an investigation into a country apparently poised to become a superpower, yet beset by endemic inequality and corruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStefan Zweig said in 1941 that Brazil was the country of the future; Brazilians joke that it always will be. Today, despite recent turmoil, that future seems closer than ever. It is the world's seventh-largest economy; companies like Heinz, Budweiser, and Burger King are now controlled by Brazilian investors and Rio de Janeiro is hosting the 2016 Olympics. The brazillionaires have ridden the crest of Brazil's wave of progress; through them, \u003cem\u003eBrazillionaires\u003c\/em\u003e tells the story of their country's past, present, and future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46543254356204,"sku":"9781781253878","price":36.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/5239403482822.jpg?v=1749740688"},{"product_id":"when-we-sold-gods-eye-by-alex-cuadros-9781399628907","title":"When We Sold God's Eye","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'A first-class work of reporting [and] a work of compassion for Indigenous peoples everywhere' - BENJAMIN MOSER, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of \u003ci\u003eSontag\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'A non-fiction novel of modern conquest, capitalism and murder . . . a stunning work' - GREG GRANDIN, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of \u003ci\u003eFordlandia\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGrowing up in a remote corner of the Amazon, Pio, Maria, and Oita learned to hunt wild pigs and tapirs, gathering Brazil nuts and açaí berries from centuries-old trees.
