Editor’s Note :

“The last one out at the airport, turn out the lights!” we used to joke in Rio in the 1990s, a time when inflation was often several thousand percent a year. Today, in the US, the Brazilian-American community is half a million strong. In contemporary Ukraine, the longer that politicians content themselves with business as usual, the more working class Ukrainians will simply vote with their feet and take the bus to Poland. And, eventually, some will stop coming home for Easter. Unless Ukraine’s politicians want to preside over a big Moldova, they need to adopt changes that will attract investment capital, starting with a 21^st century court system.
