How and why Mexico’s socioeconomic structure was transformed through pluto-
cratic preferences, US corporate strategies, and ideology—all powering transna-
tional processes of neoliberalization—are issues examined in this comprehensive,
carefully documented publication covering four crucial decades of metamorphosis.
The causes and consequences of the creation of a new, regional power bloc—the
North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)—are extensively examined.
Readers will benefit from the many important demystifications presented here,
chronicling the asymmetric Mexico-US production system. The impacts of the
new transnational structure for labor on both sides of the border are matters of
centrality. Specialists and general readers alike will find an explicit and accessible
account of the powerful forces opening access to and profiting from millions of
low-wage workers enabling Mexico to become a strategic source of US imports.
Portrayed by mainstream economists and major policymakers as a “win-win” tri-
umph of “free trade” theory, this book documents the opposing reality imposed
by NAFTA and the US-Mexico-Canada Free Trade Agreement on both the US
and Mexican working classes. US economists foretold a dramatic narrowing of the
income gap—the US would benefit; Mexico would benefit even more. But instead,
the yawning gap increased for three decades, bringing devastation for workers while
debilitating Mexico’s national industrial base.

“Blessed Mexico, so close to God, and no so far from the United States”
Andres Manuel López Obrador, President of Mexico
(August 2, 2022)
Within the span of a little over 200 years, Mexico’s always fraught relationship
with the US appears to have swung 180 degrees. At least, this would be the first
impression one might gather from the above quote. One thing that stands out with
regard to Mexico’s economic integration and subordination to the US between
that of the late 19th century and that of President López Obrador (2018–24) is the
structure that now defines Mexico in many respects—the North American Free
Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and its 2020 sequel known as the US-Mexico-Canada
Free Trade Agreement (USMCA)—that has bound Mexico’s fate since late 1993.
As we will maintain, this treaty had nearly nothing to do with so-called free trade
and everything to do with building a US-led, restrictive, largely neoliberal, eco-
nomic power bloc designed to promote US investment in Mexico and hinder all
economic rivals in creating a new transnational production zone. López Obrador
(AMLO) built his popular presidential campaign on the disparagement of neoliberal
socioeconomic policies. Now, his startling volte face (as noted in the epigram) sum-
marizes his assessment of how Mexico has fared under the USMCA and NAFTA.
How Mexico has actually fared, how the US has performed, and in what way a new
transnational system of power and production has been constituted between these
so dissimilar nations since the late 1980s is the subject of this book. We focus on
the political economy impacts affecting the majority of Mexicans and the millions
in the US working class. The focus of this book is both “worker-centric” and
“production-centric”.
It may be useful to attempt to define the scope and intent of the book through
a statement of what it is not:
Preface xv
We are confident that, in spite of our efforts, there are some materials we have
not accessed. This is due to the fact that a large body of difficult-to-access unre-
ferenced materials, often of limited circulation, particularly in Mexico, has intro-
duced tangible limits constraining our intended “comprehensive” research efforts.
Nevertheless, within these bounds, we have made every possible effort to find,
read, and digest the extant written materials, only some of which are cited in the
long bibliography. Many excellent studies have not been referenced—their absence
being a result of our decision to write a text of manageable length. We have sought
to compress a very important and very complex transnational metamorphosis that has
fundamentally restructured Mexico while extensively transforming the US—which
yet remains a process of further consolidation.
In the present era of the transnationalization of production, we prioritize the
emergence and consolidation of the cross-border system of power defining and
delimiting Mexico’s socioeconomic development. The striking epigram cited at
the outset denotes the vast gulf between the weary “realist” perspective—national
“interests are eternal and perpetual” and will be pursued, as famously stated by
Lord Palmerston in 1848—and AMLO’s “ahistorical-naïve” perspective regarding
Mexico’s interface with the US. Mexico’s socioeconomic subordination in the late
19th century during the “primary-export” regime built to extract resources needed
as the US consolidated its industrial dominance in a new age of monopoly capital
constituted an early system of limited, resource-based transnational production. In
this book, we explore the degree to which another famous epigram “plus ça change,
plus c’est la même chose” should resonate today in Mexico under the newly consoli-
dated export-led, manufacturing regime of dissonant, cross-border, asymmetrically,
integrated accumulation.

Pemex to take yet another loan. But, alas and predictably, all raw materials booms
simply presage busts. When the bust came at the end of the 1970s, getting worse
by 1981, oil prices plunged, loans stopped, and then things got worse: In inflation-
adjusted terms, from 1980–7, oil prices fell by 27.4 percent and continued to drop–
down by 72 percent in 1988—further collapsing to 84 percent below the record
high 1980 price in 1998 (McMahan 2021). But, repayment schedules remained,
and the noose tightened.
This crucial juncture had a great deal to do with US policymaking and with the
odd monetarist ideas of Milton Friedman: In 1979, the US was experiencing, for
the second time in the 1970s, a relatively high rate of inflation (roughly 11 percent
at its peak, about the same as 1974–5). Unlike 1974–5, however, Friedman’s idea
that inflation could be contained by controlling the supply of money became influ-
ential among those setting monetary policy. This context, and the naïve nature of
President Jimmy Carter’s economic management, enabled Friedman devotee Paul
Volcker’s appointment to run the US Federal Reserve. Then, and now, global credit
markets generally follow the lead of the Fed as it sets basic lending rates. In October
1979, Volcker imposed dramatic new measures in attempting to restrict the money
supply. By December, the interest rate on intermediate bonds had soared to 10 per-
cent, then 12 percent by February 1980. Short-term interbank rates set by the Fed
shot to 19 percent by April; one-year loans financed at 7 percent in 1978 leaped to
17 percent in 1981 (Goodfriend and King 2005: 983, 985, 995–8).
In the US, recession ensued. International bank lending to Mexico slowed
moderately but then reaccelerated in 1981, reversing course subsequently and fall-
ing by about 20 percent in the following year. In 1981, the World Bank (WB)
made its largest loan ever to Mexico, apparently chiefly at the behest of Mexico’s
powerful Ministry of Budgeting and Programming, headed by future president
Miguel de la Madrid (1982–8) along with his top aide, economic and social pol-
icy director, another future president Carlos Salinas (1988–94), who convinced
most WB economists involved that Mexico’s problems were transitory—although
by then overall foreign debt had jumped by 119 percent from 1978–80 (Toussaint
2020). Only months before Mexico subsequently defaulted on its foreign debt
in August 1982—sending shock waves abroad—the head of the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) wrote to then President López Portillo (1976–82) that “the
recent setback for the Mexican economy is bound to be transient” after meeting
with his top aides, including, most likely, Carlos Salinas (Kapur, Lewis, and Webb
1997: 603).
Mexico flailed, but by late 1982, the gig was up. Mexico’s business elite was
watching events, having as always the inside track on information. They knew. And
so, starting probably sometime in 1981, wildly accelerating in 1982, they performed
the “sacadolares” dance: They grabbed up almost all the dollars that had been circu-
lating freely in Mexico’s banking system and engaged in massive capital flight, most
probably taking out, in a period of 18 months, about all of what had flowed into
Mexico via foreign loans since the mid-1970s. Massive capital flight, 1981–2, likely
reached 5 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) (Buffie and Krause 1989: 152).
The Remaking of Mexico 3
Capital flight along with the threat to withhold investment (or its converse, the
conditioned willingness to invest) are two crucial measures of capital’s structural
power—policy decisions are made on its behalf “without need for concerted polit-
ical action” when systemic forces result in a “correcting” procedure, or a reversal
or a marginalization of any initiative that might impinge upon capital’s prerogatives
(Fairfield 2015: 414–25). Instrumental power can be calibrated by taking into account
the crucial role of peak business associations, particularly in Mexico, in achieving
specific short-run objectives through “concerted political action” in terms of the
return on capital as the state acts as the instrument of capital. This chapter is con-
cerned with events, and responses to events, that shifted the underlying relations
of state and capital, reducing rapidly the autonomy of the former. In the US, if
less dramatically, a largely similar role regarding capital’s enhanced scope and sway
has been both theoretically detailed and empirically documented (Gilens and Page
2014; Romm 2021).
Mexico’s then president (López Portillo)—who had only pronounced a short
time before that Mexico’s problems had been reduced to “managing abundance”—
said he had a list of the “sacadolares” mafia—but he never released any data despite
his promise to do so. Instead, expressing justified pique, he nationalized the banks.
And, to everyone’s surprise, including conservative small business owners who were
aghast at what they considered to be the sudden arrival of “socialism”, for the
first time, the banks became responsive to everyday Mexicans as efficiency leaped
upward. But that did not last long—the banks were “privatized” in 1991—gifting
the public banks to the new elite of financiers in a process replete with favoritism.
doctors” failed, the answer was…a larger portion of medicine. As the 1980s ground
on, the WB brought to Mexico the greatest ideas Washington had to offer—
Structural Adjustment Programs (SAPs). These programs were a leap into the
unknown, as never before. Structural adjustment essentially meant that the recipient
nation had to abandon its conventional sovereign practices, and the IMF (through
“cross-conditionality”) also participated in the WB-led program to remake Mexico
as the exemplar export-led economy.
1985. Having entered GATT in 1986, the US arranged for Mexico to sign the
“US-Mexico Bilateral Framework Agreement on Trade and Investment” in 1987
(Erb and Greenwald 1989: 125). This was the initial step down the road that led to
NAFTA’s approval in 1993. The 1987 Agreement had been preceded by an outline
bilateral agreement at the behest of “interested business leaders” in late 1984 (Erb
and Greenwald 1989: 125). Thus, the “decision” to enter GATT, locking in Mexico
to policies that presaged the abandonment of the state-led industrialization project,
was one that originated, directly or indirectly from the US in 1984/5. By 1989,
restrictions on foreign ownership in many areas, excluding so-called strategic ones,
were greatly relaxed. By 1991, tariffs had been drastically reduced, quotas affected
only 20 percent of imports, and a massive sell-off of state firms was underway. The
US was particularly interested in setting up nonreversible arrangements with regard
to all transnational investments, actual and potential. The exercises in transnational
power intensified: By October 1989, Mexico had signed three trade and investment
accords with the US, one an “understanding on trade and investment facilitation”,
another designating specific sectors to be prioritized, and a third designed to “pro-
mote” transnational business opportunities” (Erb and Greenwald 1989: 127).
In large measure, this drive to impose transnational production structures on
Mexico came from large US corporations and their representative organizations,
particularly the Business Roundtable and the US Chamber of Commerce.1 But
also, especially in the crucial period 1983–91, many very powerful Monterrey-based
industrial firms—sometimes known as the Monterrey Group, which was formed
in the late 19th century from no more than 20 merchant, banking, and industrial
family-dominated enterprises (Gauss 2010: 207–20). Never loyal to the state-led
model (even as they grew and prospered as a result of it), they also advocated for a
transnationalized production and trade structure: As the ’80s crisis ground on, they
increasingly visualized a solution for their excess capacity through both large-scale
exports and establishing subsidiaries in the US.
Three decades later, of the 142 nationally controlled firms listed on the Mexican
stock exchange, 51 had become transnational corporations (TNCs) by 2019, but
only 10 were in manufacturing or resource-based heavy industry (Salas-Porras and
Medina-Hernández 2021: 5; 12–3; 16). In the fragile circumstances of the ’80s, the
Monterrey-based impresarios knew how to apply their economic power within the
political labyrinth in Mexico City. They, and a significant number of other business
leaders, to an unprecedented degree, broke with the underlying socio-political con-
sensus that had reigned for decades, by politically aligning with the right-wing PAN
(Partido Acción Nacional) party, created in 1939. Thus for presidents de la Madrid and
then Salinas, the rush to bend to the demands of transnational power were primarily
driven by pull factors emanating from the US, but also by push factors emanating
from AmCham de México members (then selling the output of their US-owned
branch plants into the shrinking internal market). Meanwhile, a powerful cluster of
national capital—the Monterrey Group in particular—also promoted the new turn.
Nonetheless, the largest units of capital, including bank capital, while alarmed by
López Portillo’s decision to nationalize the banks and critical of his petroleum-first

strategy, sought conciliation with the traditional power base as operated by the mas-
sive, generally inclusive, and sophisticated Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI)
ruling continually from 1929 to 2000 (and then from 2012–18). Yet, the insurgency
of northern capital in the ’80s signaled an important rupture providing a new,
strong, and versatile national power base, which over time, eventually was ready and
able to capture emerging possibilities as they opened in the 1990s: There were two
merging vectors, one coming from large capital clustered in and around Monterrey,
where the powerful ultra-conservative employers association Coparmex (formed in
1929) held sway; the other—also in the north—arose from footloose capital migrat-
ing south from the US to take advantage of the Border Industrial Program (BIP) by
setting up maquila plants (see Focus 1.1).
The BIP (or maquila program) began in 1965, shortly after the US ended a
temporary cross-border bracero labor program in order to induce some com-
pensating employment in the northern border region; it did not gain momen-
tum until 1983 when Mexico’s Secofi (the Trade Ministry) issued a Decree for
the Promotion and Operation of Maquiladoras (Hernández Laos 2000: 313).
Significantly, this was also the moment when the CNIMME (National Council
of Maquiladora and Export Manufacturers) formed—a generally little-noticed
emergence reflecting the ongoing structural and geographic shifting of the
accumulation process. Until 1985, the border maquila assembly plants enjoyed
singular status whereby neither their component imports nor manufactured
exports were taxed. In 1985, a program known as PITEX (Hernández Laos
2000: 317–8) allowed export-based firms heavily dependent on processing
imported components not located on the border to have virtually the same
privileges as did the official maquilas (i.e., exemption from import/export tariffs
and value-added taxes on components, fuels, machinery, and parts used in
production testing and research equipment, etc.)—an important step deep-
ening and broadening what was once the largely marginal BIP into “a new
Mexican industrial project” (Arregui Velasco 1993: 165). In 1987, ALTEX—
reserved for large exporters (more than $2 million in exports)—granted both
direct and “indirect” exporters (suppliers to export operations) special, rapid,
treatment with regard to border transactions and repayment of value-added
taxes. By 1995, the PITEX firms exceeded in number the maquila firms, while
their exports were valued at 75 percent of the maquilas’. In 2006, PITEX was
essentially generalized, permitting all direct and “indirect” export firms (sup-
plier firms) exemption from tariffs and trade regulations throughout all of
Mexico under the IMMEX (Export Program of Manufacturing, Maquiladora
and Service Industries) program (Gambrill 2008).
The Remaking of Mexico 7
We refer to the entire period from 1965 onward as “the maquila regime”
rather than limiting such usage only for 1965–85. PITEX transformed the BIP
program: What had once been an offhand concession to the long-neglected
border region—being initially a gap-filling measure to somewhat compensate
for the lost “bracero program” (1942–64)—partially addressed an endemic
labor surplus problem by attracting simple assembly plants to a narrow “Free
Trade Zone” just south of the long border. The pace of the setup of these
plants was initially very slow; five years after the program began, there were
only 120 plants employing 20,000 workers. But by 1974, employment had
increased 273 percent, now spread across 455 plants. Growth was periodically
interrupted by recessions in the US, but by 1985, when the PITEX program
commenced, there were 760 plants employing 212,000 low-wage workers. As
the crisis of the ’80s drug on, as Mexican workers’ real wages went down until
1984 (rising moderately thereafter until 1994, but only recovering their 1984
level in 2002) the maquila siting process boomed: By 1988, the plant count
reached 1,400, with employment registering 370,000 (Carrillo Huerta 1990:
32). From 1994 to 2002, maquila employment nearly doubled, reaching one
million (Cypher 2004: 362–3), while from 2004 to 2019, IMMEX workers rose
from 1.4 to 3 million. The exponential growth of maquilas in the northern bor-
der occurred parallel to the industrial decline of central regions in the country,
which had been pivotal in supplying the domestic market during the “import
substitution” (or state-led) period. This process was driven by the US’s counter-
ing of a surge of Japanese production capacity into its South.
The massive subsidies to the border plants and the PITEX firms, along with
low wages, actually constituted an atypical industrial policy: Instead of certain
sectors selected and promoted by the state, Mexico’s policy centered on guar-
anteeing low wages with an unlimited labor supply, in addition to offering any
temporary import-export firm (TIEF) an array of other incentives. Standing at
27 percent in 1980, by 1993, nearly 70 percent of all exports were processed
through the TIEFs either as maquilas or increasingly as PITEX operators, rising
to nearly 80 percent by 2002 (Puyana 2010: 8). Rarely mentioned were many
other TIEF subsidies in addition to those cited earlier: (1) usually comparatively
cheap water, gas and electricity; (2) low land rent and construction costs; (3)
possible exemptions, under one pretext or another, from corporate taxes; (4)
state-subsidized business financing; and (5) access to government-financed
labor training programs.
1992: 753). As the crisis commencing in 1981 drug on, sometimes deepening,
northern capital—which was, relatively, not so beholden to the national gov-
ernment—was more willing to break with the state-led economic policies engi-
neered through the PRI/large capital alliance. Configuring this break effectively
meant embracing neoliberalism and one of its major tenets—an export-led
accumulation strategy. As the consensus between state and capital fractured due
to divisions among the owners of capital, the initiative for constructing a new
configuration arose from the provinces under the influence of Coparmex (very
much in alliance with US capital)—a process that increased throughout the 1980s
(Mizrahi 1992: 757). In 1970, Coparmex had only 7,000 members: It operated
in the shadows cast by the hegemonic alliance between the state and the large
industrial-financial conglomerates as instituted in the paradigm-setting Cárdenas
era, 1934–40 (Gauss 2010; Hamilton 1982). As the neoliberal turn gained
traction—this being the construction of a new nexus between state and capital to
build out an emerging transnational productive structure—Mexico’s national
project was not to shrink the state, or sideline it with regard to the economic
structure, but to redirect it. As this process gained traction, by 1990, employers
associated with Coparmex jumped to 36,000 (Mizrahi 1992: 757): State pol-
icy was coalescing on Coparmex’s anti-labor stance. As the ’80s commenced,
or shortly before, US firms dominating the Mexican auto industry from their
Mexico City region plants, but now facing union pressures and Japan’s more
efficient plants, relocated to the north to nonunionized, often nonindustrial
areas: This shift expressed and augmented the regional power of Coparmex and
the Monterrey Group.
Export Promotion
The shift to maquilization in the north as the new epicenter of capital accumulation
was noted early (Arregui Velasco 1993). With economic dynamics centering on
the north (Cypher 2004: 362–3; Félix and Dávila 2008), Mexico experienced a
structural shift as the external market became the macroeconomic driver—exports
leaped from an insignificant 4.8 percent of GDP in 1956–70 to 9.1 percent during
the oil boom 1978–81. Then they grew at an annual rate of 5.8 percent per year
from 1982 to 1993 and then (before the US economy began to swoon in 2007) by
a truly remarkable 11.1 percent per year from 1993 to 2006 (Moreno-Brid and Ros
2009: 101, 127, 181).
Foreign trade, measured as exports plus imports, rose from 27 percent of GDP
(1982–4, when the internal market shrunk) to 62.6 percent (2004–6)—most strik-
ing was the rapid rise in intra-industry cross-border movements—an indicator not
of trade but of integrated transnational production: Accounting for only 7 percent of
foreign trade in 1982, these interdependent intra-industry (often intra-firm) trans-
actions rose to 17 percent in 1987 as the new structure consolidated, quickly reach-
ing 30 percent by 1990 (Thacker 2000: 166).
The Remaking of Mexico 9
completely these, and other massive state subsidies directed at export firms.
According to the government, the program was a horizontal industrial policy—
something the WB and IMF were willing to tolerate. But, it was actually a sub
rosa, vertical, large-firm, industrial policy, promoting especially only two key
industries that were of interest to the TNCs, electronics and auto vehicle and
parts production. Here are some of the export promotion measures taken from
1983 through 1989/90 (Cypher 1991: 98–9):
system: That is, all the citizenry are able to live their lives under conditions wherein
their life expectancy, their health, and their access to knowledge would be com-
mensurate with the existing state of science and productive capacities of any given
historical moment. Using this metric, the data provided by Boltvinik are an excel-
lent proximate measure of how drastically and pathetically inadequate has been
Mexico’s prolonged engagement with a transnational system of production under
conditions of “intentional dominance”.
encroach on this lucrative market. The preeminent global firm was then RCA
(formed as a subsidiary of the US giant General Electric in 1919). In 1965, its sales
were greater than all other US electronics corporations combined, but by 1975, while its
sales had increased 95 percent, the sales of the three top Japanese electronics cor-
porations leaped ahead by 459 percent (PARC 1977: 42): Their combined sales in
1975 were 19 percent larger than RCA’s, even while this company maintained its
edge over all other US electronics firms. Even though RCA’s sales had nearly dou-
bled, between 1965 and 1975, profits had fallen by roughly 10 percent.
Mainstream international economic theory, until recently, presumed that capital
was nationally based: Finished goods and raw materials, according to classical/
neoclassical formulations, crossed borders but capital did not (nor did parts and
components). Capital stayed “at home” according to David Ricardo’s famous the-
ory of comparative advantage because capitalists were habituated to their native
social formations—its customs, laws, conventional business practices, and so on.
And, until the dawning of the new era of transnational production (blossoming fully
in the course of the 1980s), Ricardo’s perceptions on this matter were generally
accepted (even as some manufacturers set up branch plant operations in Europe,
and especially in Latin America, from the 1950s to step-over national industrial
promotion policies that constrained US-based exports).
RCA fought-off Japanese competition by first moving its capital to the non-
union US South as early as 1965. But, (1) the opening up of the Mexican border
region, (2) the attempts to unionize RCA’s massive plant in the US South, and (3)
the resistance by its southern labor force to tactics intended to intensify (speed up)
the labor process led, in December 1970, to the closure of this US plant (Cowie
1999: 92). Instead, RCA focused on Mexico, with full knowledge of the special
competitive advantage that a move to Ciudad Juárez would produce. RCA sought
mostly young female workers with a rural nonindustrial background. A double
labor arbitrage operation was brought into existence since, first, workers were avail-
able at roughly one-tenth of the US wage, while, second, female workers could be
paid even less. For RCA (and other US companies to follow), this functioned to
combat the noxious combination of rising foreign competition, stagnate (or falling)
exports, and US labor resistance by reversing the decline in profit margins. Mexico
was available to source RCA’s labor-intensive operations, while others—the more
capital-intensive and technical aspects of its vast production web—were offshored
to Taiwan or remained in the US. It was the first “Fortune 500” company to enter
the BIP. Production on a limited scale began in 1968 when RCA was the 15th
largest corporation in the US.
In Mexico, RCA expanded slowly, employing enhanced methods of social con-
trol over a labor force unavailable north of the border—including by specifically
recruiting young women, 75 percent of its workers: To its great liking, RCA had
free access to a growing labor pool, as 38 popular colonias (poor peoples’ squat-
ter-shack communities) mushroomed around Ciudad Juárez. Here a majority of
workers lived in tiny hovels shared by at least five residents. Necessary expenses for
workers’ subsistence were cut, vis-à-vis the US because workers lived in miserable,
14 The Remaking of Mexico
self-built shanties on low-value land that had been, often, seized by the squatters
or relinquished by a governmental entity (without conceding land titles). US con-
sultants who worked with leaders in Juárez were convinced that the massive labor
surplus along the border and in the northern states was so great that whatever
capital the BIP might attract would never be large enough to push wages upward
(Cowie 1999: 112).
The BIP was initiated after Mexico’s secretary of trade and industrial promo-
tion (Secofi) had visited FTZs in Asia—seeing there a model to be followed. By
1973, there were 168 US electronics plants along the border—more than in either
Hong Kong or Taiwan. This was only the beginning. When RCA moved some of
its operations to Mexico in 1968, it secured a cheap labor force paid US$20 for a
48-hour workweek (42 cents per hour).
In 1970, Ciudad Juárez had an estimated 30,000 to 60,000 unemployed labor-
ers—meaning that the maquilas had their choice of pliant workers under conditions
of constant wages, but this combined with a productivity rate higher than US plants
in some instances (Cowie 1999: 117–8; Crossa 2022a: 7). Although generally over-
looked, and hard to document, such high productivity clashed directly with con-
ventional neoclassical economic perceptions: Mexico’s meager wages were no more
than a reflection of low labor productivity went their constant, comforting refrain.
But, beyond the disorienting ether of high economic theory, executives at
Whirlpool Corporation (until 1965 known as RCA Whirlpool) made a startling
announcement in 2005: At the company’s plant in Germany, production workers
were paid US$32 per hour vs. $23 in the US and $3 in Mexico (including bene-
fits). Their engineers determined that if Whirlpool’s Monterrey plant installed the
same advanced production technologies used in the German plant, there was no
question that Mexican workers would match the productivity of German workers
(Uchitelle 2005: 4): Thus, one Mexican worker, paid 9 percent of one German worker’s
wage, could produce the same amount of output per hour as his/her German counterpart;
Mexican workers, then, were, effectively, far more productive than US workers.
Comparatively low wages had nothing to do with low productivity and everything
to do with transnational corporate economic power. This has been the pull factor
bringing capital, especially from the US, to Mexico.
“silent integration”—long before the US Senate set the stage for NAFTA’s approval
in 1991, the entire US electronics industry was folding and moving, mostly to
Mexico.
The RCA-Juárez dynamic was only a small part of a larger process wherein
the US rapidly entered a stage of deindustrialization in the 1970s and early 1980s.
While neoclassical economists were generally blasé in the face of these changes,
a very few sounded the alarm to no avail: Most outspoken were Stephen Cohen
and John Zysman who encapsulated their argument in the title of their crucial
book Manufacturing Matters (1987). Correctly, they argued that if the US offshored
its manufacturing, this would generate adverse linkage effects: Without a solid core
of manufacturing firms, the US would lose its edge in technological development
since manufacturing demanded the production of capital goods (machines to make
machines), and a strong capital goods industrial base was the underlying source of
technical change. Switching to a service sector–oriented economy would actually
slow productivity growth across the economy because technological innovations
developed in the manufacturing sector spilled over to the service sector—they were
compliments, not substitutes, in the maintenance of a dynamic economy. As Cohen
and Zysman emphasized (1987: 8–9),
The lament and warning presented by Cohen and Zysman with regard to the
electronics industry were but one part of a much larger problem sweeping across a
broad range of industries, most particularly the industrial paradigm-setting US auto
industry: In 1970, the Big Three automakers (General Motors (GM), Ford, and
Chrysler—now Stellantis) were ranked in the Fortune 500 corporate listings as nos.
1, 3, 6. By 1980, a dramatic change had occurred, as reflected in the new rankings,
2, 4, 17. But, unlike their abandonment of the consumer electronics industry, US
policymakers were determined to save the dominant manufacturing industry by
imposing restraints on Japan’s market penetration: Its share of the US auto market
jumped from 18 percent to 27 percent from 1978 to 1980, as US auto output fell
from 9.3 million to 6.6 million (Destler 1991: 259). Threatening quotas, the US
imposed a “voluntary export restraint” agreement in 1981, which lasted through
the 1980s, holding the number of Japanese auto imports to 7.7 percent below the
1980 level.
With their exports to the US effectively contained by this quota, the Japanese
built auto plants in the US: Honda began in 1982, Nissan in 1983, and Toyota
in 1984. By 1989, they had nine fully operating plants, several in the nonun-
ion South, as part of a new “transplant corridor”, all well away from heavily
unionized centers (Dicken 2003: 392). Candace Howes’ extensive research on
these new plants revealed that they were actually no more than branch assembly
operations, with approximately 50 percent of all parts used sourced from captive
suppliers in Japan. Remaining parts were produced either directly in-plant or,
mostly, from nonunion US-based Japanese-owned suppliers, paying US workers
44 percent of the rate paid by parts companies that supplied the “Big Three”
(Howes 1993: 36, 44).
It could not have been a mere coincidence that at the precise moment Japan was
stealing a march on the US’s flagship industry, Mexico’s auto sector policies rotated
180 degrees. Part of this transformation involved turning Mexico into a low-
wage export platform guaranteeing the competitiveness of US auto firms as they
responded to the heightened tensions generated by the massive entry of Japanese
production into the US automotive market (Crossa 2022b: 534).
When the crisis of 1981/2 hit Mexico, policy positions in some areas shifted
rapidly and dramatically. The Mexican state imposed wage ceilings based on low
expected inflation and not past inflation, which in the 1980s shattered real wages
(inflation reached 159 percent in 1987). With wages falling, aggregate demand
was undercut, meaning that further private-sector investment was unwarranted.
The reduction in the public sector also resulted in a strong decline in government
capital formation. The results as measured from 1982 through 1988 were star-
tling, and contrary to what the IMF/WB anticipated, the economy grew annually
at the imperceptible rate of 0.07 percent while gross capital formation fell at the
annual rate of 5.2 percent—a cumulative drop of 43 percent (de María y Campos
1992: 21).
As always, the IMF demanded that an economy undergoing one of its “stabiliza-
tion” programs (SAPs) should increase its exports—which rose from 11 percent of
The Remaking of Mexico 17
GDP to 18 over the 1982–8 period (de María y Campos 1992: 22). Manufacturing
exports rose from 14 to 56 percent of total exports, led by metal products, machin-
ery, and equipment, most produced by a small number of TNCs (de María y
Campos 1992: 44). This shift to a cheap labor export platform was also mandated
by the WB—the structure had to be changed via a rapid, permanent rise in industrial
sector exports: Yet, by international standards, exports (at 13 percent of GDP in
1986) remained low. The impetus of rapidly rising internal demand that had dom-
inated (1940–80) was now displaced onto external demand growth—the economic
structure was turned upside down. But this shift—at the same time that real mini-
mum urban wages fell by 45 percent and real per capita income by 11 percent—was
insufficient to create overall conditions of economic growth: The shrinking of the
domestic economy and the surge in the size of the informal sector (of street ven-
dors, servants, car washers, lottery ticket sellers, etc.) inducing a rise in the level of
income inequality, had a negative impact, overwhelming any boost from the rise in
exports (de María y Campos 1992: 22).
A major role was accorded to the auto sector in the drive to expand exports.
The 1983 “Decree to Rationalize the Automobile Industry” forced transnational
auto firms to reduce the number of models produced to a maximum of five in
order to achieve economies of scale. While it promoted exports, the Decree was
also designed to eliminate the importation of most parts and components: Auto
firms had to have sufficient foreign currency earnings to pay for all parts, com-
ponents, royalty payments, technology transfers, and interest payments on foreign
loans. As is typical of a sectorial IP, domestic content requirements remained but
were reduced on exported autos (Moreno-Brid 1988: 15–7). These new policies
basically demonstrated a revision and continuation of industrial promotion strategies,
but not for long.
Mexico’s entry into the GATT in 1986 was one of the clearest indicators that a
new era had arrived. Joining this organization, long resisted by advocates of state-
led development policies, meant a dramatic drop in tariffs, barriers, quotas, import
licenses, and so on that had been designed to promote industrialization through the
consolidation of national firms (private and public) in an earlier era. As recorded in
the IMF’s official history, as Mexico was inching once again toward default on its
international loans, it desperately needed to conform to the IMF’s preference that
it join GATT. The IMF began to “press the initiative” in late 1983, along with the
WB, and thereafter “continued to make the case” until Mexico applied for mem-
bership in 1985 (Boughton 2001: 361). Quickly, tariffs fell to a low average of 11
percent by 1989; only 20 percent of imports were subject to licenses. Mexico’s rapid
opening to imports created unprecedented problems in manufacturing because,
beyond a few giant firms, producers had little access to credit and were slow to
adjust: “The massive supply of imported products resulted in the disarticulation
of some production chains and provoked the closing of thousands of principally
medium and small manufacturing firms” (Máttar and Peres 1997: 222). In addition,
the state was slow and inept in addressing unfair trade practices (including those of
the US) that sometimes explained rising imports.
18 The Remaking of Mexico
What are termed “horizontal” industrial policies (IPs) were employed to estab-
lish the transnational production structure (wherein without preference to a
particular sector or activity, all firms can, potentially, be beneficiaries, as was
the case with the maquila and PITEX programs): For example, Mexico in the
late 1980s and onward became committed, at least officially, to promoting a
higher level of national R&D spending, wherein (in theory) all producers might
benefit from an economy that promoted innovation. What stands out, how-
ever, is that, in general, Mexico ceased to support many sectors—called vertical
IPs—including capital goods, computers, and pharmaceuticals.2 Such policies
were proscribed “interventions” according to neoliberal ideology (Sánchez,
Fernando, Motta, 1994: 35).
Now forgotten, Mexico prioritized the creation of a national computer
industry in the 1970s. The goal was to provide a framework for industrial pro-
motion by containing foreign firms in the sector, including restricting them to
minority ownership in joint ventures and requiring them to invest a minimum
of 3 percent of sales in R&D and fund training programs and research centers.
Mexican firms in the sector received tax credits and below-market loans from
state-owned development banks (such as Nafinsa). Domestic producers were
given preferential access to government procurement. Domestic content in
PCs was set at 45 percent of value-added. By the mid-1980s, the IP to promote
the computer industry was considered a success—through the establishment
of wholly owned Mexican firms, or through joint ventures. In 1987, national
supply met 56 percent of domestic demand, while roughly 50 percent of total
production was exported—meaning that this promoted sector was interna-
tionally competitive and provided scarce foreign exchange (Gallagher and
Zarsky 2007: 122–4).
But, in 1985, the US-based IBM corporation successfully fought the gov-
ernment and set up a 100 percent foreign-owned operation—by 1987, others
had followed suit. By 1990, as Mexico consolidated its neoliberal stance, the
The Remaking of Mexico 21
government moved to abandon all sectorial IPs because TNCs were anxious
to integrate their Mexican holdings into their new global supply chain pro-
duction strategies. This relegated Mexico, usually, to low value-added, labor-
intensive parts manufacturing. (In the run-up to signing NAFTA in late 1993,
Mexico eliminated all remaining remnants of the IP for computers, and after
2001, when China entered the World Trade Organization, most foreign com-
puter firms reorganized, shifting their Mexico-based operations to China.) The
demise of Mexico’s fledgling capital goods (see note 2) and pharmaceutical
industries generally followed the same state-transnational-induced path into
oblivion.
• The inflation rate dramatically declined in 1988 and for several years thereafter;
• Wages were held to a 23 percent increase in the first year of the Pacto (while
prices rose by 52 percent, meaning that real wages fell by 31 percent); and
• The exchange rate was stabilized, putting an end to the massive devaluations of
previous years, and “import inflation”.
The overall macroeconomic effect reduced the wage share in national income
which, with a rising population already pushed to the margin of subsistence, was
The Remaking of Mexico 23
a brutal blow. The counterpart was to raise capital’s already extraordinary share of
national income. Generating these effects, the Pacto clearly played a critical role in
the defeat of the PRI’s presidential candidate in the summer of 1988, but then the
count was “adjusted” with the PRI’s candidate, neoliberal advocate Carlos Salinas,
given, via a well-documented process of electoral fraud, a free hand to rule, thereby
burying the possibility for a democratic option.
With Salinas in power, 1989 was a threshold year for labor as the social pact (con-
solidated under President Cárdenas in the 1930s) was definitively destroyed. First
under attack was the most powerful union—the oil workers’: Salinas imprisoned
the leader and commenced new programs of piecemeal privatization of Pemex.
Similarly, a threatened strike by 4,000 mining workers at the government-owned
copper mine Cananea brought about its privatization and the dismissal of all work-
ers. The state-labor collaboration had ended.
With the objective of increasing the profit margin for the private sector, the
Pacto became institutionalized in late 1989 (Ortega Riquelme 2006: 243–4). The
commission for the follow-through and evaluation of the Pact (CSEP) was cre-
ated with strong corporate representation from the peak business association CCE
(the Business Coordinating Council representing the largest firms).4 The manu-
facturers association (Canacintra), the Monterrey Groups’ employer confederation
(Coparmex), and the largest unions were then synchronized by the secretary of
labor within the 1989 follow-on framework of the PECE (Economic Growth and
Stability Pact), which remained in effect into 1994. The goal was to “obstruct the
future opposition of the participants”, meaning in practice the labor participants.
The objective of removing the power to set wage rates and labor conditions (which
had substantially rested with the unions) was achieved: Now such matters were left
to the powerful, captured Labor Secretariat (STPS), which generally pursued the
preferences of the CCE and Coparmex.
The results deepened the devastation for the working class: Because the Salinas
administration sought social support for NAFTA, a fictitiously financed expansion
occurred with real median wages rising slightly until 1994 (when another deep
crisis occurred). But such wages reached, at their highest moment, only approxi-
mately 75 percent of their 1980 level, while the real minimum wage fell to 40 of
1980 purchasing power (Moreno-Brid et al. 2019: 53). Thus, the real minimum
wage, then directly affecting an estimated 28 percent of the formal labor force fell
an additional 27 percent during President Salinas’ term.
The 1987 Pacto was, according to Valdés Ugalde (1996: 141), “the embryo of a
new relationship between economic and political elites—clearly a sin qua non for
a successful neoliberal reform of the state”. In the run-up to the final passage of
NAFTA in late 1993, the wage share of national income rose slightly as the state
endeavored to build the illusion of a successful remaking of Mexico’s economy
under the export-led program. For a brief moment, for some in Mexico, it appeared
that Salinas’ ambition to transform Mexico to become part of the “First World not
the Third World” was near realization. But, by early 1994, the data revealed that
Mexico’s economy was an unsustainable illusion, although most Mexicans looked
