Ni!

Hey, I got to your page from here, pleased to meet you =)

I'm Brazilian and a fellow scientist, and while I'm not deeply into economics or the economic history of my country, I get there indirectly from my interest in the evolution of the information ecosystem here, which you also seem to be interested in, and with which I work in a context of health care and technology.

Do get in touch if you'd like to chat sometime.

Hugs,
