El autor nos presenta una visión económica de corte sólidamente ortodoxo con la cual uno puede no estar siempre de acuerdo. Sin embargo, en esta compilación destacan dos aspectos que justifican su lectura aun para aquellos que busquen ideas y soluciones más heterodoxas. Por una parte, el autor ofrece un recuento sumamente informado, coherente y perceptivo de un periodo crucial de la historia económica reciente de México, que vale la pena para todos recordar, sin importar creencias o convicciones personales. Por otra parte, el tema general de los escritos, el alcance e instrumentación del papel del Estado en el desarrollo económico de México, se ha vuelto más relevante que nunca en este momento en que el Estado mexicano atraviesa nuevamente una crisis de identidad al prepararse para un nuevo sexenio.

Mexican Political Biographies, 1935-1993

They integrate and coalesce. There is a rhythm and a cadence both in substance and in form. This book was initially written as a gift to my father. I wanted to share certain memories with him that were meaningful and lasting. I wanted him to know, from my perspective, just how important he was in my life. He never really understood the profound impact that he had on the lives of other people –especially his family. Because of that humility, or perhaps in honor of it, I wanted to him know that he...
Crossing Swords
Based on a decade of field research, this work is the first book-length, scholarly examination in English of the role of Catholicism in Mexican society since the 1970s through 1995, and the increasing political activism of the Catholic church and clergy. It is also the first analysis of church-state relations in Latin America that incorporates detailed interviews of numerous bishops and clergy and leading politicians about how they see each other and how religion influences their values. It is also the first analysis of the Mexican Catholic Church which uses national survey research to examine Mexican attitudes toward religion, Christianity, and Catholicism, and provides the first inside look at the decision-making process of bishops at the diocesan level.
