Beginning with the Porfiriato, the period between 1876 and 1911 named for the rule of President Porfirio Di?az, 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"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aPolitics and government$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01919741 606 $aFrench$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00934209 606 $aEntrepreneurship$xMoral and ethical aspects$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00912804 606 $aCapitalism$xMoral and ethical aspects$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00846434 606 $aBusiness enterprises, Foreign$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00842659 606 $aBusiness and politics$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00842401 606 $aBusiness enterprises, Foreign$zMexico$xHistory 606 $aFrench$zMexico$xHistory 606 $aEntrepreneurship$xMoral and ethical aspects$zMexico$xHistory 606 $aBusiness and politics$zMexico$xHistory 606 $aCapitalism$xMoral and ethical aspects$zMexico$xHistory 607 $aMexico$2fast 607 $aMexico$xPolitics and government 608 $aHistory. 615 7$aPolitics and government. 615 7$aFrench. 615 7$aEntrepreneurship$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 7$aCapitalism$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 7$aBusiness enterprises, Foreign. 615 7$aBusiness and politics. 615 0$aBusiness enterprises, Foreign$xHistory. 615 0$aFrench$xHistory. 615 0$aEntrepreneurship$xMoral and ethical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aBusiness and politics$xHistory. 615 0$aCapitalism$xMoral and ethical aspects$xHistory. 676 $a330.972081 700 $aGalindo Rodriguez$b Jose$01793510 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910984627403321 996 $aEthnic Entrepreneurs, Crony Capitalism, and the Making of the Franco-Mexican Elite$94333462 997 $aUNINA
