Utopia Unarmed

"The compromise between limited political will to impose reforms from above, and limited capacity to fight for reform from below, was Latin American populism."

(Extracted from "Utopia Unarmed: The Latin American Left After the Cold War" by Jorge Castaneda, p. 46)

Although the nuances exhibited by Latin American countries, their histories are amazingly similar.

Carpe Diem,
