Read all commentsNot sure if it is part of the immediate G20 concern, but I think that the medium term BIG ISSUE for LatAm concerns the LatAm LAND itself.
Oct 06th, 2011 - 12:38 pm 0Populous (Northern) countries will need LatAm agricultural land ,ad agricultural output, as well as the minerals contained within.
Every 'destabilization' of every LatAm country will be a buying opportunity for the rich nations of the North.
DO NOT SELL THE LAND.
Husband the resources, win the resources yourself, and sell them using whatever trading bloc power you can string together. Sell them at a rate that brings high export value.
These resources are the biggest trading chip in the games of controlling Dumping and undermining demestic industries.
Unfortunately, such strategic trading need high quality management and governance - not much in evidence across most of LatAm.
COMMON is certainly appropriate. As in SH*T.
