If the Spanish government under Pedro Sánchez has been able to refuse the increase of the military budget to 5% of GDP for fear of disrupting the social fabric, it is because it does not face the same degree of existential threats that Germany and other Eastern European NATO member countries face from a Putin who is at their doorstep and has even just threatened his neighbors with nuclear war. #DeudaNacional #EconomíaGlobal #Hegemonía (translated)

According to economist Peter Heather and classicist John Rapley in their book Why Empires Fall: Rome, America and the Future of the West (2023), U.S. debt is part of a broader debate about imperial decline, as debt is a symptom of a change in the global distribution of wealth and power. #DeudaNacional #EconomíaGlobal #Hegemonía (translated)

Karina Michelin stated that the cover of the October 10 to 16 edition of *The Economist* featured the phrase “The Bolsonaros are back” and that the editorial described Brazil as a right-wing country. According to her, the magazine, which had made severe criticisms of Jair Bolsonaro, did not express support for the family but acknowledged a political shift in the country. Michelin wrote that after the first round, Flávio Bolsonaro entered the decisive race ahead of Lula, with about 47% of the valid votes against 45%. She said that the magazine considered him the favorite for October 25 and projected his victory. The author also attributed to the publication the assessment that the PL expanded its presence in the Senate and the Chamber, while the right consolidated its space in the largest electoral colleges. According to Michelin, the magazine linked Lula's decline to the cost of living, debt, fiscal difficulties, scandals, and the loss of strength of his discourse among young people. Michelin stated that the dominance of the PT faced a rupture that, in her view, could not be explained solely by anti-PT sentiment or by the figure of Jair Bolsonaro. Although Lula was still contesting the presidency and the ballots of October 25 would provide the final result, she concluded that the right was not a passing wave and that Brazilians had brought the Bolsonaros back. #Brasil #Política #Eleições (translated)

According to the author, the sector benefited from sales to China, but Beijing purchased Brazilian products for reasons of competitiveness and strategic partnership, without a special bond with Brazil.
