El periodista del The New York Times, Eduardo Porter, publica hoy una crítica a la acentuada acumulación de la riqueza en México y el papel de Carlos Slim como el principal monopolio en la economía del país:
"Mr. Slim’s style of wealth accumulation is not rare in modern Mexico. From television to tortillas, vast swaths of the Mexican economy are controlled by monopolies or oligopolies. Many of Mexico’s billionaires were created by the government during the privatization of state-owned companies in the 1990s.
...
That is what is most difficult to swallow for a Mexican. The United States government split up Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Company. A court imposed a consent decree on Mr. Gates’s Microsoft to curtail its monopoly practices. In Mexico, Mr. Slim’s monopoly is understood to be the natural order of things. Ask former President Vicente Fox, who appointed a former Telmex executive as minister of communications in 2000."
