Brazilians have never been better off materially but few have the opportunities they want. So what has gone wrong with Brazil's economy? And what can Brazil's ambitious middle-class hope for in the future? Simon Jack reports from country's largest city, Sao Paulo. He explores why day-to-day life is so tough for so many of the city's ten million inhabitants and why frustrations over something as simple as a bus fare proved the catalyst for middle class protests on the streets of the city.
