Interview: “Latin America Needs to Abandon Its Victimization and Embrace the World”

I was interviewed for PanAm Post by columnist María Marty. The 13-minute interview itself is in English with Spanish subtitles and is prefaced by Ms. Marty’s summary in Spanish. PanAm‘s title is “América Latina debe abandonar su victimismo y abrirse al mundo” (“Latin America Needs to Abandon Its Victimization and Embrace the World.”)

The topics:
1. What’s unique about how Latin Americans think about their problems.
2. The view that Latin America is primarily a victim of outside forces.
3. What internal changes are needed most: political, business, and intellectual cultures.
4. About the forms that nationalism takes, good and bad, in some Latin America countries.
5. Whether I am optimistic or pessimistic about Latin America’s future.
