2012 Economist Survey of Mexico

Here is the 2012 survey and here are the response questions.
Also, so that we can refer to the piece in our conversation, please print out the one article assigned to you (just a couple pages).

All read and respond to the introductory article. Then Groups 1-4 read:

1. Señores, start your engines
2. The gain before the pain: Mexico’s demographic dividend will be short-lived
3. Stretching the safety net: Falling ill is no longer an economic disaster
4. Mexico’s states: The 31 banana republics
