Mexico, a country that apparently has many faces, a population of 120 million, more than half classified as poor. But at the end there are just two faces sharing the same history. Two realities, two levels. The ones down, working on the assembly lines installed all across the country’s territory. The few up, cashing from the big business and the concessions made to the big corporations.
Capitalism in these stories acts as ravenous wolf, swallowing each and everyone of the last strongholds of cheap labor and surplus value still “digestible”, jumping from country to country in a global economy increasingly similar to a dry, scorched steppe that has almost nothing left to offer to the wolves of the great capital. Mexico is one of them, incorporated to a world economy that has already been declared in bankruptcy three times, but that has decided to die slowly.
One more thing, pressure is increasing…
