Fernando Henrique Cardoso GCB GCTE GCoIISE GColIH GColL GCM RE DMN CYC OMRI (born 18 June 1931), also known by his initials FHC, is a Brazilian sociologist, professor and politician who served as the 34th President of Brazil from 1 January 1995 to 31 December 2002. He was the first Brazilian president to be reelected for a subsequent term. An accomplished scholar of dependency theory noted for his research on slavery and political theory, Cardoso has earned many honors including the Prince of Asturias Award for International Cooperation (2000) and the Kluge Prize from the US Library of Congress (2012). He was the 10th president of International Sociological Association (1982-1986). Brian Winter is editor-in-chief of Americas Quarterly and the vice president for policy at Americas Society/Council of the Americas. A best-selling author, analyst and speaker, Brian has been living and breathing Latin American politics for the past 20 years. In the forward to this book, President Bill Clinton wrote about his friend, President Fernando Henrique Cardoso, who led the movement to embrace common goals and common values in Brazil and the United States. Brazil faced a series of daunting challenges during President Cardoso's terms and, with his leadership, overcame many of them. Brazil emerged from dictatorship, thanks in part to Cardoso's efforts. He worked as a senator and government minister to consolidate and steady Brazil's fledging democracy, and then as minister of finance, he strived to stabilize his nation's economy. Cardoso's economic strategy as finance minister, the Plano Real, succeeded in curbing the hyperinflation that was crippling Brazil's economy. He also worked against international threats like crime, drug strafficking, and terrorism. For two terms as president, Fernando Henrique Cardoso navigated his country through a potentially perilous landscape with courage, foresight, and grace. His memoir tells the story of his remarkable leadership as president, his remarkable encounters with other historical figures, and his lifelong love for Brazil. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Cardoso, who served as Brazil's Finance Minister in the early 1990's and then president from 1995 to 2002, shows in his first-rate memoir how far his country has traveled in the 125 years since Emperor Dom Pedro. Cardoso appears, by virtue of being a third-generation politician raised in an upper-middle-class household, to have been minted for the presidency. Yet, as he describes with the panache of a seasoned history writer, privilege did not obscure his vision of Brazil's injustice and poverty: he was born into a time of upheaval and worker revolts and lived through his first coup at age six, a foreshadowing of the tumult he would witness throughout his adult life. This philosopher-turned-politician gives a thorough history of 20th century Brazil, a country blessed with resources but racked by instability and yearning for democratic reform. Cardoso made Brazil's future his mission, as a senator, as finance minister and finally as president where he took on pharmaceutical companies over AIDS treatment. And while Cardoso's family history would seem to have predisposed him to the role of public man, his story is that of a maverick whose love for his country helped bring Brazil into the 21st Century as a formidable economic and political power.
