Abstract

En esta década se cumplirán dos siglos de la independencia de México, sin embargo, a pesar de las significativas transformaciones que el México independiente experimentó, el país está lejos de formar un orden constitucional y liberal. En su mayoría, las transformaciones sucedieron para dejar los asuntos tal como eran y no para efectivamente cambiar cosas. El liberalismo clásico siempre ha estado presente en México de una forma u otra, pero han sido el paternalismo, clientelismo y corporativismo quienes tienen raíces fuertes en el pensamiento económico mexicano, no el liberalismo

This very decade Mexico rounds off two centuries taking on its independence. It seems, however, that although the independent Mexico has experienced a number of more or less radical transformations, these changes often did more to leave things as they were than to move the nation to anything resembling a liberal constitutional order. Classical liberal ideas have always been present in Mexico in one form or another but it is paternalism, patronage, and corporatism that have deep roots in the economic thinking, not liberalism.
