The Mexican American Border | A Tale of two Colonies

Why is Mexico so different from the United States? Why is one country poorer than the other? In this video, the first of a 3 part series, I would like to take you on a journey through the socio-economic developments that took place in two countries throughout their recent 400 years of history and compare them.

I feel obliged, first and foremost, to thank a group of artists, who chimed in to help finish the video sooner. A significant amount of the donations and patreon support for this video will go to them.
