The impact of the significant FDI into Mexico can be a double-edged sword. While it promises economic growth and job creation, it also poses challenges, particularly related to water resource management and equitable distribution of benefits. Careful planning, investment in infrastructure, sustainable practices, and inclusive policies will be essential to maximize the positive impacts and mitigate potential downsides. Referring to comments above, while more Mexican ownership or nationalization schemes might offer some advantages, such as greater control over resources and potential for redistribution, they also come with significant risks and challenges, including potential inefficiencies and reduced foreign investment. A balanced approach that combines strong regulatory frameworks, public-private partnerships, and targeted social programs may offer a more sustainable and inclusive path to benefiting poorer communities in the long run. The key is to ensure that economic policies are designed to promote inclusive growth, equitable distribution of wealth, and sustainable development. Businesses are not investing in Mexico to lose money.

Robert Burns comments regarding foreign ownership are interesting. Although his rambling complaint lacks any attempt to offer a solution, we must assume he is advocating more domestic ownership – since he also ruled out government or worker ownership. Are investments by huge publicly traded corporations better if that company is listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange rather than those investments by corporations listed on the NYSE or EURONEXT or NASDAQ or Shanghai? His comment that “foreign investment for mere jobs is akin to prostitution” opens a fascinating potential for an interesting conversation. Does he advocate that that Mexican workers should turn down all jobs if the employer is traded anywhere but Mexico City?

I don’t see un this or any of the other articles about foreign investment what is the benefit to Mexico. In a capitalist country. Foreign ownership and the means of productions should be just as feared as in a communist regime where the mrans of production are government-owned or worker-owned. Foreign investment for mere jobs is a akin to prostitution.
