What are the economic and social factors behind the discontent of Brazil's middle class?
Simon Jack and guests discuss the issues in Sao Paulo, where the recent protests erupted. As Brazil's middle class finds its voice, In the Balance asks whether we are witnessing the growing pains of a developing country or a crisis point in Brazil's economic march forward. We hear what's behind the discontent and whether it is all about money.

Simon's guests are: Mailson da Nobrega, former finance minister and now a founder of Tendencias consultancy; Alexandre Schwartsman, former central banker and now teacher at one of Sao Paulo's leading business schools; Lucia Nader, executive director of Conectas human rights organisation and Vincent Bevins, from the LA Times anda writer for one of Sao Paulo's leading newspapers.
