In South America, a Mine of Riches and an Economic Sinkhole
Keywords:
Chile and the dilemma of copper exports taking up 57.8% of exports in 2009, from 54.4% in 2005, making 15.5% of GDP. With the surge in China's growth Latin America remains as tied to commodities exports as it has been for decades, facing boom and bust cycles and not able to diversify into value added and industrial products. A regional economic commission says in a report, that Latin American and Caribean exports were over 50% in raw materials in 1980 and declined to 27% in 1999, and back up to 39% in 2009.
Latin American economies Peru, Chile, Colombia, Brazil, and Mexico as the commodities boom cycle fades in 2013-2015
05/06/2010
Commodities exports make up about one fifth of output in Peru and Chile. Slowdown in growth in China will affect exports of copper and other metals. Brazil's growth faces additional hurdles with low investment rates, poor infrastructure and other problems. This in turn affects companies ranging from beer producers to other companies depending on sales in the region.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
