aron, trajeron toda la maldad y por eso somos pobres... Es que la Malinche... Es que los gringos nos robaron el territorio del norte y por eso no somos una potencia... Es que Porfirio Díaz fue un terrible dictador... Es que todos los ricos son malos y todos los pobres son buenos, y somos pobres pero honrados... Es que lo importante no es ganar sino competir..., por eso perdemos...

Vamos a mandar a México a unas cuantas sesiones de psicoterapia. Lo acostaremos en el diván y lo enfrentaremos contra sí mismo, para ver si la lógica y la razón logran imponerse contra los dogmas históricos ridículos que lo atan al pasado.

El mexicano es poco colaborador, personalista, egoísta, y no tiene en absoluto el espíritu de participación de otros pueblos. El mexicano vive el hoy volteando al ayer, lo que en definitiva no lo hace nada visionario. Nunca llegará al futuro un pueblo tan obsesionado con su pasado... peor aún, con un pasado mítico.

Nuestra historia, como la de todos los países, está llena de mitos y mentiras. Será labor de este libro tratar de brindar versiones alternativas de la historia que nos ayuden a comprender nuestro carácter, nuestros ideales y nuestros complejos de hoy. Y es desde luego el sueño que este libro ayude a producir en el mexicano el cambio que tanto necesitamos para progresar como país, como personas y como sociedad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Because the Spanish conquered us and brought wickedness with them, and that is why we are poor... Because Malinche... Because the gringos stole the northern territories and we are no longer a global superpower... Because Porfirio Díaz was an awful dictator... Because all rich people are bad, and the poor are good, and we are poor, but honest... Because what matters is not to win, but to compete... that is why we lose...

We are sending Mexico to a few psychotherapy sessions. We will get it on the couch and make it confront itself to see if logic and reason manage to prevail against ridiculous historical dogmatisms that keep it tied to the past.

Mexicans do not cooperate much, they are personalistic and selfish; they do not share the collective spirit other peoples have. Mexicans live today with their eyes on yesterday, which in the end does not make them visionaries at all. A nation so heavily obsessed with the past, and worse, with a mythical past, will never make it into the future.

Our story, same as it is in all other countries, is full of myth and lies. It will be this book's mission to give alternative versions of history to help us understand our character, our ideals, and our current complexes.
