Hopefully Brazil's social systems can handle the influx of extractive wealth, but odds are low.

A US-driven, extractive wealth transformation in a South American country… I mean what’s the worst that could happen, right?

What's the most exported item from South America that does not get snorted?

From Brazil, iron ore and soya beans.

Raw materials. The mining industry in Peru and Chile is huge. I think drugs were ever really exported from Colombia and maybe Bolivia? But Bolivia also has a huge trove of raw materials.

Also, Venezuelan oil, before they shot their industry in its foot.

I dunno but Chile exports a ton of copper to China.
