Paper desired content
I would like the paper to point out how Mexico once was prosperous, during the Aztec period, before the Spanish invasion. And how global inequality, and Mexico’s extractive leadership has continued to exploit the lower class to benefit only the privileged. Tie all this corruption and compare it to how Venice too was prosperous and then became nothing more than a “museum” for tourist as is now the case with Mexico. – I’ve provide some text content on the subject for reference.
