Hispanic culture does not have its roots in the law as the Anglo culture. There is no Spanish Magna Carta or common law, or Constitution that is held in respect. Property ownership is not held as a matter of right as it is in the Anglo based culture. This means that the future is always contingent on the whims of political winds. Hard to get banks to take risks and make investments for the future in such an environment.

A+ on the history lesson. As history recedes forgetfulness rises and the lessons learned many times have to be relearned at great sacrifice.

Sad indeed, and especially when their are so many glaring examples of present day history in the making.
