At last year’s Summer Olympics, Mexico defeated Brazil in men’s soccer, 2-1. This defeat has a parallel on the economic field, as Mexico has surpassed Brazil in GDP growth, with gains of 3.9% in the past two years, versus Brazil’s 2.7% in 2011 and 0.9% last year. Mexico’s growth is expected to accelerate, prompting Goldman Sachs to predict that the nation will become the world’s fifth-largest economy by 2050.
