Mexico Restores Ex-Ruling Party to Power
Keywords:
Enrique Pena Nieto of the PRI party wins the presidential election in Mexico with 38% of the vote. Lopez Manuel Obrador came second with 31% of the vote, and the candidate of the ruling PAN party, Ms. Vazquez Mota came in third with 26% of the vote. Voters were eager for change afer 12 years of rule by the PAN party under Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderon. Mexico averaged growth of 2% during these years, though growth has increased since the financial crisis. But the benefits of globalization, foreign investment, and trade reached the better educated and skilled workers leaving many behind. This period included negative growth during the 2008 financial crisis. .
Mexico's Felipe Calderon: An Assessment
07/02/2012
Mexico's Felipe Calderon looks back at his policies and what they achieved for Mexico in a meeting with WSJ Editors in Sept. 2012.

The achievements he cites- 113,000 engineers graduating each year in Mexico. The growth of jobs and the diminishing need for Mexicans to cross the border into the U.S. as the economy improved in Mexico during his 6 years in office.

The challenges facing Calderon as he tries to reshape the economy of Mexico.
05/22/2006
The Mexican economy is expected to see a GDP decline of nearly 7% in 2009. With the serious downturn in the auto industry and in other industries, serious problems with monopolistic firms and high prices in the telecom sector, underinvestment in the oil sector, and the impact of the war on drug cartels, one expert says its surprising that Calderon is still fighting all these battles.

Mexico Stubbornly Resists Accountability
New York Times 01/04/2016
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.
