Statism, Its Recurring Cycles in Mexico & Romania Olga Magdalena Lazin

Statism, Its Recurring Cycles in Mexico and Romania is focused on governance and its pitfalls. This exhilarating book provides a political and economic analysis of the historical "recurring cycles" of Statism in Mexico and Romania. The cycle is starting with the Aztec Empire. The author focuses on these countries as prime examples of states that have "been experimenting with statism and state corporatism." Ms. Lazin identifies the cycles of Statism that begins with a period of nation building, in Mexico, and brings it up to present, with cycles of anti-statism, and state intervention, as well as complications with the military. General Genario Luna' work with narcotraficantes while being the head of the FBI, is being analyzed. That explains statist enterprise, and presidential involvement of the past 4 presidents in mixing the governmental, and governance culture with the narco-state leadership.

In Romania, by contrast, the state owned everything (see GDP data), and so did the socialist Party, and only started privatizing the past 3 decades, after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Central planning went on for 45 years in Romania.

The Binom and the deep state are relevant pitfalls of the Securitate-driven governance in Romania, at the apex of statism in 2021.

The amparo prevalent in the Mexican legal system, proves how one can get away with murder, if the amparo is being paid.
