This week in print: Brazil’s economy, free trade in Colombia, Mexico’s drug war, business in Cuba and Carlos Fuentes’s death

After breakneck growth in 2010, the Brazilian economy has slowed sharply. This week’s issue of The Economist says there are still good opportunities in the country, but that the government must focus on addressing its structural weaknesses to take advantage of them. The issue also includes stories on the implementation of the free-trade agreement between Colombia and the United States, foreign businessmen in Cuba and countervailing trends in Mexico’s drug war, as well as an obituary of Carlos Fuentes, a Mexican author.
