Abstract

The purpose of my intervention at this event is to present a global vision of the most relevant aspects of the current Latin American problem and present my point of view regarding the possibilities of overcoming it in the decade and a half that separates us from the next century.  This conference - the first of the two that were assigned - will be aimed at presenting a summary diagnosis of the current situation. In the next session, the different alternatives proposed to deal with it will be discussed.  I will begin with a general statement that is beyond discussion: both Latin America as a whole, and each of its member countries, is currently going through the deepest economic crisis that the region has ever experienced during the 20th century.
