The Mexican Miracle: Legacy of the Revolution

Abstract

In the essay, it is briefly contextualized to the period between the 1940s and 1970s in Mexico, known as the "Mexican miracle". In this period, the Mexican economy grew at an annual rate of more than six percent, maintaining it for about thirty-five years and maintaining an economic development based on the structure and operation of political systems, with significant state investment in industrial and agricultural infrastructure. This process of industrialization promoted by the government generated an increase in the income of certain sectors of the population, both slowly and quickly, but without avoiding the enrichment of the post-revolutionary elites that took on the task of national reconstruction after the armed conflict.
