Do the poor remain poor by choice? Do today's youth earn less because they are lazier than previous generations? Do social program recipients waste money on frivolous things? Do northern states pay more taxes than southern states? Is your boss truly unable to give you a raise?
NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE
"Así No Es" uses data, scientific evidence, and investigative journalism to debunk pervasive myths about meritocracy, the middle class, classism, wages, and taxes in Mexico. In this book, Viri Ríos and Raymundo M. Campos-Vázquez reveal uncomfortable truths that have been suppressed for years to justify Mexico's inequality.
The book features a brief questionnaire to help you discover how many myths you believe and how you compare with other Mexicans based on age, socioeconomic status, place of residence, political preferences, and more. Based on your results, you will be recommended a tailored approach to reading the book.
