According to author and former Mexican foreign minister Jorge Castaneda, “Mexico is a country which has been waiting many years to finally achieve its potential…” So what’s holding it back? In his new book “Manana Forever” Castaneda takes apart the Mexican psyche to attempt to explain what’s preventing Mexico from becoming a full fledged prosperous, middle class, democracy. Castaneda examined civil society in Mexico and argues that certain cultural characteristics that promoted survival through the country’s tortured history now serve to hinder that nation’s progress toward a modern and successful state. Castaneda joins Larry in studio to discuss these traits, their origins and how they pose hurdles for the country’s future.
Will tomorrow ever come for Mexico?
