Beginning with the Porfiriato, the period between 1876 and 1911 named for the rule of President Porfirio Díaz, Jose Galindo identifies how certain behavioral patterns of the Mexican political and economic elite have repeated over the years, and analyzes aspects of the political economy that have persisted, shaping and at times curtailing Mexico's economic development. Strong links between entrepreneurs and politicians have allowed elite businessmen to receive privileged support, such as cheap credit, tax breaks, and tariff protection, from different governments and to run their companies as monopolies. In turn, successive governments have obtained support from businesses to implement public policies, and, on occasion, public officials have received monetary restitution. Galindo notes that Mexico's early twentieth-century institutional framework was weak and unequal to the task of reining in these systematic abuses. The cost to society was high and resulted in a lack of fair market competition, unequal income distribution, and stunted social mobility"--Provided by publisher.Politics and governmentfast(OCoLC)fst01919741Frenchfast(OCoLC)fst00934209EntrepreneurshipMoral and ethical aspectsfast(OCoLC)fst00912804CapitalismMoral and ethical aspectsfast(OCoLC)fst00846434Business enterprises, Foreignfast(OCoLC)fst00842659Business and politicsfast(OCoLC)fst00842401Business enterprises, ForeignMexicoHistoryFrenchMexicoHistoryEntrepreneurshipMoral and ethical aspectsMexicoHistoryBusiness and politicsMexicoHistoryCapitalismMoral and ethical aspectsMexicoHistoryMexicofastMexicoPolitics and governmentHistory.Politics and government.French.EntrepreneurshipMoral and ethical aspects.CapitalismMoral and ethical aspects.Business enterprises, Foreign.Business and politics.Business enterprises, ForeignHistory.FrenchHistory.EntrepreneurshipMoral and ethical aspectsHistory.Business and politicsHistory.CapitalismMoral and ethical aspectsHistory.330.972081Galindo Rodriguez Jose1793510MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910984627403321Ethnic Entrepreneurs, Crony Capitalism, and the Making of the Franco-Mexican Elite4333462UNINA
