To this Marx is studied in Mexico´s high school and universities, while liberalism is omitted entirely. Most countries in Latin America practised several forms of socialism, some openly, some not. By 1982, Mexico had nationalized almost all industries: oil, energy, paper, telecommunications, banking, insurance, food and many others, and also propped up huge state television and media enterprises to "compete" with private media companies, protectionism and price control ended all that and the country began a slow and painful process to open its markets, privatize enterprises (retaining oil and energy) and engage in more industrialization. It´s was a very painful experience.

Leo & Daniel -- I am curious what your perceptions would be...? From my time in Mexico ('83 & '88) and ongoing contact with folks in and from the region, I found it odd how little focus emerged on Liberation Theology. (I know her basic topic was different, chosen perhaps in part to sidestep LT in deference to her own faith practice - ? which I would understand.) Still, I suspect even the ideas of L. American academia are bolstered by LT, and it seems to me that "regular folks" are more influenced by faith culture than by academic culture in Latin America (though both here and there, our systems bring us under the authority of the "educated" 😏). I wonder if it looks different to her because in the U.S. we sideline faith and exalt secular education...?

Populism is a mixed variety of things. It doesn't always mean the state has an obligation to actually work to improve the living situation of the people. Sometimes it meant a progressivist agenda or a tariffs protectionist agenda. Sometimes it means internationalism. Sometimes it means nationalism. Basically, it says give the people the ability to vote themselves more money or more cronyism. Prohibition is supported by drug cartels, because it means only a few get to enjoy the profits. Protectionism has been used time and time again on mature, healthy industries. It has not been used for infant economies, which is the basic argument for protectionism and tariffs.

Protectionism might work in a big country with a big economy. In Latin America it means that the elites can suck wealth out of the local masses due ot having captive markets, the richest guy in Mexico is as rich as Bill Gates or Paul Allen because he has the unconstested monopoly of phone calls between the US and Mexico by poor mexicans calling their families from the Us to Mexico. Also protectionism means that instead of having a huge market like the US with many choices in products, workplaces and jobs, have you got 22 small to medium size markets doing all the same things redundanlty and not very efficiently as happens in Latin America. It end up making the people poor in the end and the people who manages politically the protections rich.

I don't want to denigrate STEM, but to caution that we are losing our collective humanity as we uncritically embrace its claim that it is the pinnacle of human achievement. To wit: AIs claims that computers can approach human thinking/experience, when it seems apparent that many humans are reducing much of their thinking to binary "processing," rather than the intuitive or integrative "metabolism" of experience. Guess which deepens our humanity and which makes us more machine-like. I fear we will end up meeting the computers significantly more than halfway....
