Brazilian Miracle
The Brazilian Miracle () was a period of exceptional economic growth in Brazil during the rule of the Brazilian military dictatorship, achieved via a heterodox and developmentalist model. During this time the average annual GDP growth was close to 10%. The greatest economic growth was reached during the tenure of President Emílio Garrastazu Médici from 1969 to 1973. The short-lived economic miracle in Brazil was based on, as James Petras argues: ''a) violent illegitimate seizure of political power by the military;'' ''b) the institutionalization of violence through an extensive and intensive system of military-police controls throughout civil society;'' ''c) the systematic use of terror to contain popular discontent, to disarticulate mass organizations and to destroy guerrilla resistance;'' ''d) the elaboration of the National Security ideology to justify the State's "permanent state of war" against autonomous class or nationalist movements.''Perception of the so-calle ...
