Summary: A Well Written Shock for Some People
Comment: This book is informative and well-written. It argues that the economic problems of Mexico, and the 1994 financial crisis in particular, have deep political roots. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn more about Mexcio or international political economy. I only have one gripe with the book. Cataneda argues that Americans have always misunderstood Mexico. I think that this is true of many people, but not of everyone, and certainly not of American political elites. They may have presented Mexico as a long-standing problem for the U.S., an economically backward country which nevertheless is nearly democractic. But in reality, they understood the dynamics of Mexican politics quite well. I do not think that this book presents a revolutionary and shocking perspective. But those not very familiar with Mexico, or those who think that it is a democracy will find the book an eye-opening experience.
Rating: 5
Summary: excellent socio-political analysis
Comment: This is one of the best works I have read recently on Mexican politics. Castaneda's review is one of clarity and insight. This book is a great resource for analysis on the Mexican electoral system, popular dissent, and the history of the PRI. I highly recommend this one.
