Thanks are due to the many Brazilians in London and Brazil who took the time to tell me about their country and themselves. In particular I should like to thank Jaime Bernardes of Editorial Nordica, who was an excellent host and guide; Maria Silvia Marques, formerly Treasury Secretary of the City of Rio de Janeiro; Luiz Cezar Fernandes, Chairman of Banco Pactual; Jorge Mamão, People’s Administrator of the Rocinha favela; Heckel Raposo, security consultant; Pedro Paulo de Campos, Managing Director of Oppenheimer in São Paulo; and Allan and Stephanie Walker.

I should also like to thank Aidan Freyne and his colleagues at Salomon Brothers Emerging Markets Desk in London for their time and patience, and Phil Cavendish for all his help.
