Bøger af Ana Lilia Pérez

"This is the contemporary history of our plundered Mexico. It all began in the 1980's, when the country was struggling with an unprecedented economic crisis and chose to embrace the neoliberal model as a lifeline. A promise of modernity and prosperity that, by attempting to reduce state intervention in the economy, left a trail of trampled public interests. Ana Lilia éPrez tells this story and unmasks the characters who shaped it: political leaders, complicit officials, heirs of the bureaucratic elite and unscrupulous businessmen. At the same time, she takes the reader into the tricks of looting: manipulated concessions, diverted resources, fraudulent structural reforms and privatizations that benefited only a minority. In their struggle for power, says the author, politicians from different parties accuse each other of the "destruction" of the country, thus evading the responsibilities that the governments emanating from their ranks left as a legacy. Your selective memory has one purpose: to maintain or regain your privileges. With this intention, they talk about a country that never existed. This work exposes the modus operandi behind the dispossession of the country's most precious resources and reveals how those who should have ensured the common well-being became architects of their own fortune. Thus, it stands as a map that illuminates the tortuous path that led us to become children of neoliberalism. Furthermore, it allows us to understand the roots of systemic corruption and marks the first steps in the arduous task of dismantling it." --
