Summary
The differences between the United States and Mexico may be immense, but their links - economic, political, and social - are profound, and growing stronger. In this incisive narrative, John Adams argues that Mexico, with which the United States shares a 1,951 mile border, is no sideshow but a pivotal component of American economic health and regional security. The primary theme that runs throughout this book is that Mexico -- its domestic growth and industrial capacity, population pressures, energy needs, political dynamics, and strategic location - has historically had, and will continue to have, a tremendous impact on the United States. Drawing from the most current economic and demographic data and business examples, Adams demonstrates the depth and breadth of U.S.-Mexican relations and their implications for American business and policymaking. In the process, he dispels popular myths about Mexico as an economic backwater or political distraction. The result is an authoritative and colorful account of our complex relationship with our neighbor to the South, and its broader implications for global growth and political stability. The border between the United States and Mexico runs for 1,951 miles.
