This week in print

OF ALL the emerging markets, there's no doubting which one has become the favourite choice of hedge-fund and private-equity investors: Brazil. This week's edition of The Economist explores why the South American giant has become such an attractive destination for capital, and what it means for the country and for world markets. It also examines the efforts of the country's new president, Dilma Rousseff, to cool off an overheating economy; a massive legal judgment against Chevron in Ecuador; a politically charged case against a Venezuelan judge; and the status of a pending free-trade agreement between the United States and Colombia.
