Future Predictions
The British Industrial Revolution was successful because they had land near energy sources, people willing to work in factories, and people willing to invest in industry. Considering this, I think Mexico has the potential to also industrialize and modernize more. Mexico has people willing to work since they have a large pool of lower class people in need of money and they have companies willing to have their products manufactured there. The only possible issue is that there are some dry regions that aren't near water sources or good farmland. Since China’s manufacturing industry is starting to fall, due to increasing labor costs, an older workforce and other factors, Mexico can benefit and industrialize.
