James M. Cypher and Ra�l Delgado Wise begin with an examination of Mexico's pivotal economic crisis of the 1980s and the consequent turn toward an export-led economy, later anchored by NAFTA. They show how Mexico, after abandoning frequently successful past practices of state-led development, disastrously tied its future to an unconditional reliance on foreign corporations to promote an export-led growth strategy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFocusing on Mexico's cheap labor export model, the authors use the maquiladora sector and the auto industry as case studies of the perils of globalization--the \"race to the bottom\" as capital becomes ever more international. The government's unconstrained free-market policies, they convincingly argue, have resulted in a fragmented economy marked by stagnation, falling wages, informal part-time employment, and massive migration, which define daily life for all but a tiny minority.","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47606433251479,"sku":"9780742556607","price":13959.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780742556607.webp?v=1775040188","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/mexicos-economic-dilemma-the-developmental-failure-of-neoliberalism-9780742556607","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
