Mexico’s Uneven Development

At the border of Mexico and the United States, there is ongoing unrest and controversial debate over immigration. These two countries also offer stark contrasts in their economies that offer us a chance to reflect on Mexico’s history.

Why does Mexico remain less developed than the United States?

Weaving in stories from Oscar J. Martínez’s own experiences growing up along the U.S.-Mexico border, Mexico’s Uneven Development shows how the foundational factors of external relations, the natural environment, the structures of production and governance, natural resources, and population dynamics have all played roles in shaping the Mexican economy.

Contributor Roderic Camp, professor of Government at Claremont McKenna College says, "In this lucid, introspective personal and scholarly interpretation, Oscar Martínez presents a historian’s view of the causes and consequences of Mexican under-development, offering controversial but convincing arguments that incorporate scarce resources, low paying jobs, and massive lawlessness."
