President Dilma Rousseff, chastened by her near loss in the recent presidential election, has signaled a willingness to improve macroeconomic management, including by resisting a relapse into statism, the potential benefits of which now pale in comparison to its collateral damage and unintended consequences. If she delivers, Brazil would join Mexico in anchoring a more stable Latin America in 2015, helping the region to overcome the disruptive effects of a Venezuelan economy roiled by lower oil prices.
巴西是另一个值得关注的两可国家。险些输掉最近的选举的总统罗塞夫以释放出信号表示愿意改进宏观经济管理，包括阻止国家主义复萌。眼下，国家主义复萌的潜在好处与其所造成的附带伤害和意外后果比起来不值一提。如果罗塞夫采取这一政策，巴西将与墨西哥一起稳定2015年的拉丁美洲，帮助该地区克服低油价扰动委内瑞拉经济带来的破坏效应。
