Made in Mexico

Made in Mexico is a scholarly examination of the economic and political transformation of Mexico during the two decades following the Revolution. This history and political science study analyzes how the nation shifted from an agrarian society to an urban, industrialized power. Author Susan M Gauss explores the complexities of economic policy and the role of the state in driving industrial growth during the 20th century.

The text focuses on four key regions, including Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, and Puebla, to illustrate the tensions between centralized power and local authority. By examining the influence of the Partido Revolucionario Institucional and regional industrial elites, Made in Mexico provides critical insights into Latin American business and economics. This volume offers a detailed perspective on the nationalist project and the development of modern public policy in Mexico.
