Corruption caused by power and decomposition of the "ejido" (сase study of the lieder of Montelongo, Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato)
Based upon the idea that case studies exemplify a diversity of situations that exist in a complex society, I analyze the social dynamic of an “ejido” (agricultural parcel unit similar to the Koljoz in Russia) and the causes of their bankruptcy. I am recapitulating their historical process from its origins to our days (1960-2014), highlighting the model of collective organizations. The Montelongo experience is based upon a complex process of transition where the commercial relationships can be accentuated aside from corruption, the dispossession of the “ejidatarios’” (people running the ejidos), and the looting of resources. This situation has resulted in a disintegrated society in which agriculture is minimum, leading to predominant unemployment or temporary employment in nearby communities or in the USA. Through this analyses I call you to reflect upon the effects of corruption where regional power is managed by a catholic speech against a corruption mentality known as “billetista”, which abandoned an economy based on morality.
