You should read what you post, it was coined doing the Cold War but it had to do with developing countries and their economy back when influence was king.

The Cold War ended 20 years ago though, and since then the term started to mean “poor/backwards” countries.

Now in the case if Brazil, you’re post-industrialized country with the worlds 9th largest economy.

You simply don’t fit any definition of the “third world”.

Just to remind you that we are all getting old -- its much closer to 30 years since the cold war ended.
