STATISM, IT's RECURRING CYCLES IN MEXICO AND ROMANIA

"This exhilarating book provides a political and economic analysis

of the historical "recurring cycles" of Statism in Mexico and Romania. The

author focuses on these countries as prime examples of states that have

extensively "been experimenting with statism and state corporatism." Dr.

Lazin identifies the cycles of Statism that begin with a period of "high central

government authority" alternating with an Anti-Statist period of "minimal

central government authority," and an "Active State" that "mediates between"

the other two points."

- James Wallace Wilkie, PROFMEX

"The similarities and contrasts between the two juridical systems

are enormous. The Mexican jurisprudence system is closer to the HABEAS

CORPUS in the USA, but the Mexican AMPARO, is a very distinct feature,

that is being exploited by corrupt government officials, and one can get away

with anything if an amparo amount has been set by a judge. Like General

Genario Luna, the dark assassin, now in jail in the U.S.A."

"This critical book explains how the two countries compare and

contrast. Mexico, a country that Dr. Olga Lazin has studied deeply and firsthand,

she is a genius, on how she makes the case for how the government had

been working directly with the military and the drug lords. Understanding

of the statist Mexican government, namely general García Genario Luna's

criminal activities is tantamount. Dr. Lazin astutely explains the ironies and

complexities of Romanian statism." - Dr. Lyle Brown, Latin American

Center, Texas"

"Magnificent book, reflects vividly Romanian realities."
