The Mexican economy is a contemporary political flashpoint, and not just in Mexico, but in the United States, as well. Yet few people understand it in its full complexity, and fewer still understand the social, cultural, and historical factors that have helped to make it what it is today and that will continue to affect its future.In Understanding the Mexican Economy, Roy Boyd, Maria Eugenia Ibarrarán, and Roberto Vélez-Grajales offer a comprehensive overview of these factors. They provide a full, historical, economic, and political context through which to understand the actions of the people and government of Mexico, and they give insights into how those actions impinge -- and might continue to impinge -- on the United States. They conduct a wide-ranging examination of the Mexican economy and investigate the causes of persistent problems such as economic stagnation, high poverty levels, and emigration abroad. Stressing the critical role played by economic incentives as well as Mexico''s geography and political institutions, they employ a number of modeling techniques, including a specially designed computer model, to discuss a variety of topics including international trade, regional inequality, the informal economy, natural resource extraction, Mexico''s "war on drugs," and the economic impact of US trade and immigration policy on both Mexico and the US. For its comprehensive overview and the new insights it provides into these crucial and yet often tragically misunderstood issues, Understanding the Mexican Economy is essential reading not only for economists, but also for practitioners with a policy interest in Mexico, for students of Latin American studies, Development Studies, geography, and sociology, and for anyone with an interest in recent events and controversies around US-Mexican relations.

A ningún equipo de futbol le gusta jugar en una cancha que le dé ventajas a unos jugadores y afecte a otros. Ni que en cada partido cambien las reglas o que el árbitro las aplique para beneficiar al rival. Un requisito para que el marcador final sea justo es que el esfuerzo de cada futbolista no se vea obstaculizado por nada ni nadie y que el azar ejerza su imperio por igual entre todos los que salten al césped. En suma, hace falta una cancha pareja. Roberto Vélez Grajales y Luis Monroy-Gómez-Franco están convencidos de que algo semejante debe ocurrir con los ciudadanos y su acceso a lo mejor que ofrece la vida. En estas páginas, rompen una lanza por la igualdad de oportunidades, entendida como una forma de proveer servicios públicos de forma equitativa —por ejemplo, el cuidado de la salud o la educación—, de favorecer la movilidad social, de destacar el esfuerzo de los individuos y de comprometer a las instituciones públicas para que moderen las desigualdades. En estas páginas se presentan los conceptos clave de este audaz planteamiento, se responde a sus críticos —incluidos quienes lo confunden con la meritocracia—, se describen las circunstancias personales que en México provocan todo tipo de inequidad —como el nivel de estudio de los padres o el color de piel— e incluso se proponen líneas generales de acción desde el Estado. Con la contundencia de un manifiesto dirigido a la gente de a pie y la solidez de un artículo científico, Por una cancha pareja es un llamado urgente a lograr un México más justo.
