That is what Brazil has been finding so difficult for the past four disappointing years. Unable to keep inflation under control without causing a recession, the country has, since 2010, got stuck not because of bad luck, or any loss of entrepreneurial spirit in its private sector, but because of political failings.
这就是巴西在令人失望的四年中所存在的难点。巴西无法在不引起衰退的情况下控制通货膨胀，其自2010年以来的颓势并不是因为运气不好或私人部门企业家精神流失，而是因为政治失败。巴西政府一直不愿或无法裁减臃肿的公共部门、深陷各种腐败丑闻，而其总统罗塞夫一直表现出对导致这些问题出现的国家领导资本主义情有独钟。
