Once upon a time, the Mexican peso was stronger than horse breath, compared to other SA currencies. They had big silver peso coins, eight of them to the pre-Jimmah Cahtah dollar and a growing middle class.
What the hell happened ?

I don’t know. But I wouldn’t be surprised if corruption played a part in it.

corruption, an out of control birthrate, a legacy of spanish style cruelty and oppression, lack of a stake in having a civil society, too much revolucion, too much manana.
Best times were probably the dictatorship years of Porfirio Diaz.
