Peter Zeihan recently said Mexico is exploding, economically. The future looks bright and rich. If it can avoid melting down into a culture of warlords (a definite possibility, given the power of the cartels and the corruption of Mexican government), it is poised to become an economic powerhouse.
I believe it. I saw it firsthand. Mexico City pulses with activity, noise, and gigs. Everyone is working to make a buck. It’s all hustle, all the time.
I was often bewildered by the mass of humanity . . . all bustling to make a dime. It reminded me of de Tocqueville’s wonderment at American busyness: it’s all business, all the time.
