Though I am somewhat familiar with this time and place I know little of the institutional difficulties that Mexico faced. I would love to read this, maybe I will give it a try later on in the year.

I suppose I should learn more about Mexico (and other countries adjacent and near to U.S.), and you've given me a good head start with your review and analysis. Mexico still seems to be more than a little wobbly, doesn't it? RTDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113953356514605424noreply@blogger.com
