This book concludes a trilogy – of which Mexico (re)loaded and Mexico (un)loaded are also part – that deals with the crisis of the Mexican neoliberal dependent economy in light of the international capitalist crisis.

The author, Adrián Sotelo, analyzes here the economic and sociopolitical problems that affect the country's working classes as well as the popular response to a government that applies its neoliberal policies through obsolete, exclusionary and declaredly pro-business reforms.

For the author, Mexico is trapped in an irresolvable dilemma because, in the face of the crisis, it cannot adopt a reprimarizing export "exit" nor is it possible to maintain the current manufacturing pattern without causing the contraction of production and exports.

In this context, the weak rate of economic growth has become insufficient to guarantee business profits and therefore capital accumulation.

Thus, the prolonged structural crisis of Mexican dependent capitalism has caused a crisis of the political regime that leads to growing authoritarianism in relation to society, systematically resorting to electoral fraud and exacerbating repression and social exclusion to guarantee “governability.”

This situation has translated into a profound social crisis that intensified the class struggle and popular struggles.

The author particularly studies the recent teacher movement against “structural reforms.”
