Con nuevo prólogo sobre López Obrador, Claudia Sheinbaum y el regreso del viejo PRI En los años 90, era fácil ver que el torbellino del tlc, el levantamiento zapatista y el asesinato de Colosio acercaban la transición democrática en México, cosa que ocurrió. Pero muy pocos observaron las graves tendencias que subyacÃan en ese torbellino...
Andrés Oppenheimer fue, tal vez, el único periodista que en su momento logró verlo y explicarlo, justamente en este libro. Detectó que la idiosincrasia priista seguÃa fuerte y resurgirÃa, que las violencias buscarÃan otros escenarios, que sin reformulaciones económicas los problemas de fondo rebrotarÃan y que, por lo tanto, el escenario estarÃa listo para que surgieran ciertos tipos de liderazgos polÃticos harto-peligrosos. En todo acertó. La cuestión es que esas dinámicas persisten. Con la diferencia de que ahora los riesgos y las complejidades para atajarlos son mayores. Leer esta obra, por tanto, se convierte en un imperativo para recordar y reaccionar antes de que sea demasiado tarde. Porque, con esta reedición, Oppenheimer nos recuerda que México, de nuevo, se encuentra en la frontera del caos... Para desgracia de México, la otrora dictadura perfecta se convirtió bajo López Obrador en una dictadura imperfecta ...Han pasado casi treinta años desde que escribà México en la frontera del caos, y su tÃtulo ha vuelto a cobrar una vigencia inusitada tras el regreso de casi todos los males que muchos creÃamos superados tras el regreso a la democracia en el año 2000...-De la Introducción ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In the nineties, it was easy to see that the vortex of the TLC, the Zapatist uprising, and Colosio's murder were bringing forth a democratic transition in Mexico, which it did happen. But very few observed the grave tendencies that underlay beneath that vortex... Andrés Oppenheimer was perhaps the only journalist that could see it and explain it at the time, precisely in this book. He detected the PRI idiosyncrasy was still strong and reemerging, that violence would change scenarios, that without economical reformulations, the deepest problems would resurface again, and thus the stage would be set for certain political leaderships, extremely dangerous. He was right about everything. The issue is that these dynamics persist. The difference is that now the risks and complexities to tackle them are greater. Therefore, reading this book becomes imperative to remember and react before it is too late. Because, in this new edition, Oppenheimer reminds us that Mexico, yet again, is on the very edge of chaos... Unfortunately for Mexico, the otherwise perfect dictatorship became an imperfect dictatorship under López Obrador.... It has been nearly thirty years since I wrote Mexico: On the Edge of Chaos, and its title has regained an unusual relevance after many evils, which we thought outdated after democracy returned in the year 2000, are now back... --From the Introduction
