Itamar Franco: Politician who led Brazil through financial chaos and paved the way for the country's new-found prosperity
Friday 08 July 2011
Itamar Franco led Brazil through a time of financial chaos in the early 1990s, helping tame rampant inflation of 1,500 per cent and paving the way for a period of economic boom into this century.
