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."

"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"
