Beginning with the Porfiriato, the period between 1876 and 1911 named for the rule of President Porfirio D\u00edaz, Jos\u00e9 Galindo identifies how certain behavioral patterns of the Mexican political and economic elite have repeated over the years, and he analyzes aspects of the political economy that have persisted, shaping and at times curtailing Mexico\u2019s economic development.<\/p>\n<p>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 financial kickbacks. Galindo notes that Mexico\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>The most important investors in the banking, commerce, and manufacturing sectors at the beginning of the twentieth century in Mexico were of French origin, and Galindo explains the formation of the Franco-Mexican elite. This Franco-Mexican narrative unfolds largely through the story of one of the richest families in Mexico, the Jeans, and their cotton textile empire. This family has maintained power and wealth through the current day as Emilo Azc\u00e1rraga Jean, a great-grandson of one of the members of the first generation of the Jean family to arrive i Mexico, owns Televisa, a major mass media company with one of the largest audiences for Spanish-language content in the world.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 56px\">\n<td style=\"background-color: #ffffff;width: 97.9513%;border: 0px solid #ffffff;height: 56px\" colspan=\"2\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jos\u00e9 Galindo Rodr\u00edguez The University of Alabama Press \u2666\u00a0 2021 \u2666 222 pp. \u2666 Tuscaloosa, Alabama, EUA\u00a0 \u2666 ISBN: 978-0-8173-2080-5, e-ISBN: 978-0-8173-9336-6.
