peter peter lehner letter finishing letter letter finish your point ok there are there there's some support for social programs here in mexico we have opportunity that isn't theirs but recall that what these countries did in others in other senses to get into the place where they are now are for example many of them withdrew from the realm of the i.m.f. because they were not willing to accept the kind of conditioning and the austerity of the state in particular that went along with it the policies that we're saying now even if in some cases the international financial institute support them are policies of greater intervention in the state and this is gone counter to the world bank and the financial institute's lied for many many times and yet it's precisely this which has been able to eliminate some of the tremendous inequalities that were causing social unrest and there were causing misery throughout the continent so i think that there's been a real break with central american countries and it's the break that's. article four at the rate that they rejected the free trade area of the americas and how many of those countries rejected free trade agreements with the united states has been critical in creating more south south trade and creating fair trade relations with the when we look at the economic crisis what we see is that the country is that recovered slowest and were hardest hit were the ones that had that dependence on the u.s. market in particular mexico and colombia and these other countries were able to recuperate much better all right peter you want to reply to that real quickly then i want to ask are going to let me just i just you know usually are you going to go ahead you have i think you i think i think it's important to understand that rather than a simple consensus what is happening is the latin america's economic and political practice is starting to change some of the more dogmatic views held by people in the world bank and the i.m.f. i mean the i.m.f. is still you know back to its old practice is not not only more involved in america but certainly in greece and in other parts of europe also eases the case that. we've been seeing a potential for the convergence between the two big economies of the two sides of the american continent i mean imagine what would happen if you put together the economies of north america particularly the united states and the south of the of the rio grande you know the combined weight of these economies will give any other country with potential global hegemony a run for their money an
