Adjacent to the developed United States, why is Mexico's economy still difficult to improve?

The United Mexican States, commonly known as Mexico, is a federal country located in North America. Like the United States, Mexico has a history of being colonized, so it has the opportunity to rise like the United States. Such as beautiful climate, fertile land, high-quality seaport and so on.

Mexico is a federal government in North America, bordering the United States in the north, Belize and Guatemala in the south, the Pacific Ocean in the south and west, and the Caribbean Sea in the east. The land area is 654.38+964 million hectares and the population is about 654.38+230 million. Land world ranking 15, population world ranking 1 1. It can be said that it is a Latin American power. According to the international exchange rate, Mexico's GDP in 20 18 is 654.38+224 billion US dollars, ranking 15 in the world. The average GDP of 20 18 is 9698 dollars, which is similar to the average GDP data of China.

Maybe you don't know that Mexico is rich in mineral resources and is an extremely important coal producer in the world. Mexico is rich in network resources of oil, natural gas, uranium, coal and metal minerals, among which the network resources of aluminum mine rank 1 in the world, copper mine and high purity graphite rank third in the world, molybdenum, lead and zinc rank seventh in the world, and Mexico's recoverable oil resources reach more than11400 million tons, ranking eighth in the world. Generally speaking, among developed countries, Mexico's social and economic development level is relatively high, and its economic development level is at the middle level in the world.

Mexico has also achieved Olmec culture, Tortek culture, Teotihuacan culture, Zapotek culture and art, Maya culture and Aztec culture and art, and established the Aztec Kingdom, the largest country in North America. Mexico has such a good geographical location, such a long history of civilization, and such a wealthy next-door neighbor as the United States. Why does it make people feel too poor and messy?

In fact, Mexico is not too poor in Latin America. It is a relatively large economic power in Latin America. The polarization between the rich and the poor in Mexico is very large, and material wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few people. In 2008, 0.9% of Mexico's population lived below the poverty line. There are many reasons for this situation, which should be dealt with step by step. Compared with the United States, the world's largest economy as a next-door neighbor, it is a bit poor.
