Am I reading this wrong, or does this sound like Roach is making conflicting statements here?
"Brazil has the thinnest cushion of support from internal demand -- private consumption actually declined at a -0.5% average annual rate over the 2001-05 period. Next to India, Brazil is the BRIC that is least reliant on exports."
I mean, how can a country that has low internal demand also be the least reliant on exports? Seems to me a country that lacks private consumption would be MORE reliant on exporting their products, BWDIK.
