In this program, Hazel Henderson discusses with award-winning civic leader Thais Corral, co-author of Leadership Is Global, the current crises and transitions occurring in her country Brazil. Brazil has all the resources and capital assets it needs to make the transition to sustainability, including human, social and intellectual capital with advanced infrastructure and industries, and the planet’s primary storehouse of natural capital. However, Brazil’s active democracy needs to shake off the obsolete fossil-fueled industrial model still imposed by foreign investors and traditional financial models. Thais Corral points to Brazil’s rich civic society traditions, participatory politics, its optimistic people and their open flexibility in embracing change as their best resource in transition management. This civic genius is the “software” that may prove to be Brazil’s unique export to the world and its struggle for domestic reforms offer lessons for other countries.
