Hi Bill..
100yr old partial politics screwed Mexico. They had plenty of time to buff up their act. The economic reality few never sparked a dynamitic system. The routine is about 10yrs for cheap wages to develop into full wage higher standards of living. They never developed a competitive businessman cluture because of administrative and legal bs. Their only competitive edge was cheap labor. I imagine a better sys will need more time.
Who knows what'll happen in China. Cheap labor has a multiplier effect that gets reflected in US company net worth.. I don't think much of China's bussiness culture 'cause most are a boderline success. The recent pc issue of China buying a whole US co will be interesting to watch. A pc is only a world commodity and some will try to hault it on a US security issue. If the US allows it it might cause complications with China's leaders on how to deal with internal world class businessmen and their followers. Otherwise China is only the current holder of the booby prize.. meaning US out sourcing to cheap blue collar labor has little economic effect to us on the big picture. Although out sourcing white collar labor is a big time concern.
Did McKinsey mention that Mexico's leaders screwed up ?
