Coming down to earth ! ( be realistic

Dilma Rousseff
takes over a
booming economy—and
rising inflation and interest rates,
lack of investment in infrastructure and a fiscally
incontinent legislature
AS SHE
steps into Brazil’s presidency
on January 1st, Dilma Rousseff can be cautiously pleased
with herself. In choosing her 37 ministers she has made a reasonable job of
satisfying the competing demands of her party and coalition, regional and ideological blocks and her own desire for a third of them to be women (she managed nine). In making Antônio Palocci,
a former finance minister, her chief of staff she showed self-confidence: some thought she would
balk at putting such a powerful political figure in a central role.
In the
run-up to her inauguration, Ms Rousseff also received pointed reminders of the difficulties ahead. In a
statesmanlike victory speech on October 31st she stressed that her priorities
over the next four years were
to eliminate extreme poverty and
improve the quality of health care and education while
maintaining economic stability and low inflation.
