“then came the left wing revolution–like here–and the country was eventually taken over by crime”
Comment:
That fits with our economic peak in 1970, and after which global special interests accelerated globalization which took work away from some countries, and brought work to other countries. Global socialism. Evidently Salvador lost jobs, then poverty, then crime and the left wing takes over.
Every country would be better off if each and every one produced its own needs. Having a global central planning trade agenda influence was a mistake or most likely a dirty trick by special interest corporations to play both ends against the middle.
Arbitrage. Make it over there and sell it over here take the profit and who gives a shit about the loser country? Until thing get bad like 9/11 and 2008, then the Covid. PROVING that a world that lives as one was bull shit.
