Northern Mexico has for decades been heavily industrialized. More international companies have plants in this region, and there is easy access to markets north of the international border. Labor and government have cooperated with business to create a business friendly society. This culture has continued to modernize and institutionalize a commitment to economic development. A large and growing educational elite as well as skilled labor force exist. The northern regions, especially in Nuevo Leon, seem to have less conflict with leftist political ideologues than in other areas of Mexico. This is possibly related to a better distribution of income. Some sections of the northern area have a business culture similar to the U. S. Mexico’s northern frontier is more economically friendly to the average worker than some other sections of the country.
Considerable poverty exists alongside prosperity in the northern frontier, but more citizens live better lives than in many other sections of Mexico. With more people sharing in the benefits of a prosperous society, there is less political unrest.
There are other areas of Mexico that are modernizing and institutionalizing with rising standards of living, but the northern frontier is developing more quickly than other sections.
I have seen some articles that refer to Mexico as a Third World Country. I do not agree with this. Mexico is a developing nation that has moved quickly to resolve long-standing business and cultural challenges that have limited its potential.
in respect to organized crime or drug cartels and political corruption, many people in the U. S. are critical of Mexico. Most citizens in the U. S. know almost nothing about Mexico. These same people do not seem to realize that the U. S. system of elite rule, political corruption, organized crime, and poverty is similar to that of Mexico. The difference is that more people in the U. S. share in the economic development and standard of living.
