It is not hard to discover what is wrong with Rio de Janeiro. Walk along the main shopping street of the Complexo de Ale-mao, a large shanty town that has been surrounded by police gunmen for months, and after about 20 metres the stalls selling fruit, vegetables and pirated dvds give way to one selling wraps of cocaine and marijuana. It is run by boys with machine-guns slung over their shoulders. Other shoppers try hard to pretend that this is normal, but they avoid looking the gunmen and their hangers-on in the eye, just in case. From time to time more machine-guns pass by on motorbikes, their riders off to collect drugs, kill a rival or enforce their own version of the law.
