MEXICOWANDERER

Let's see f my totally inadequate MBA can keep up with "The Most Powerful Economy list...
Country imports raw material under trade agreement
Country processes said raw material into finished products.
Country exports raw material
Worth of finished product listed as net economic production
Country exports crude oil
Crude oil is refined outside Mexico
Value of finished product is tabulated as net economic gain.
Brasil produces more revenue in arms than total Mexican production of products made by wholly Mexican companies producing for domestic consumption.
"Whaddya mean all of the profits of General Motors, Ford, Volkswagen, Nestele, Costco, Schlage, and maquiladora profits are not kept in Mexico?"
This is known as "Cooking The Books". Like what SEMATUR did for development for tourist infrastructure in the 80's and 90's.
And counting (many) hundreds of thousands of tour ship passengers who spend an afternoon wandering in tourist zones and buying nothing, as legitimate statistical fodder for calculating everything from visitor numbers to safety calculations.
The Bernie Madoff, cookbook reigns supreme. Never forget that.
