“Mexico Must Rise To The Challenge of Nearshoring”
What China Did And What Mexico Must Do To Join The ‘Factory Of The World’ Club – Lawrence L. Allen March 18, 2024
In the 30 years since the fall of communism, marked by the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union and economic reforms in the People’s Republic Of China, global poverty has plummeted to once unimaginable lows. According to the World Bank,1 in 1820 94% of humanity lived in extreme poverty. By 1980, after 160 years of progress, that number dropped to 50%. Impressive. But by 2015 only 9.6% lived in extreme poverty, and that was achieved while the global population grew by 2 billion people. That means in only 30 or so years the human existence for the common man was transformed on a scale greater than the impact of both the industrial revolution (1760-1840) and great migration to the United States (1880-1920) combined.
