Talk:Mexican peso crisis

message: I've just cut this from the article. Because - It strikes me as extreme pov.
Businesses whose executives attended the meeting at Zedillo's office were spared the nightmare — forewarned, they quickly bought dollars and renegotiated their contracts into pesos. To make matters worse, the devaluation announcement was made mid-week, on a Wednesday, and for the remainder of the week foreign investors fled the Mexican market without any government action to prevent or discourage it until the following Monday when it was too late.
The "December Mistake" caused so much outrage that Salinas exiled himself in Ireland (he was campaigning worldwide for WTO head at the time). The incident also served to make it clear that his influence (if any) on the Zedillo administration was over.
These are extreme accusations. Please can we get some references before we put them back? What did the government actually do on the Monday? Did Zedillo describe his trip to Ireland as "exiling himself" or is that the author's interpretation of his actions? Who found it clear that the Zedillo administration was over? Was there an official message to this effect? When did his government end? I appreciate there is a lot of anger over these events. Wikipedia is not the place to vent it. --Dilaudid 15:00, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

message: How are we going to resolve this POV dispute?  Is it a fair summary to say that some users believe the role of currency speculators in causing the crisis is ignored?
If someone could come in and add some information on the role of currency speculation, that would be ideal.  We should then remove the tag.
What is no-one adds this information?  Does the tag remain indefinitely?  - Crosbiesmith 08:38, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would add it myself, but the problem is that none of the links provided by Buen Profeta above deal directly with the Mexican crisis caused by currency speculation; they just assume it was the case, and then explain the general phenomenon of currency speculation. However, I don't think the POV dispute is about the article in itself, but about the sources. The International Institute of Economics is being accused by Buen Profeta of "violating ethical guidelines for intellectual honesty and offering readers an unabashedly promotional view of the group that claims to be non-partisan"... ergo... whatever is written by them is inherently wrong. Sort of like and ad hominem attack, maybe an ad institutionem attack if I can create my own term: according to him, the arguments exposed in the article are not wrong in themselves (he hasn't debated the accuracy of the argument of the depletion of the National Reserves). According to him, the arguments are wrong because the institution (in his eyes) is not worthy of credibility; only his sources are credible an unbiased. --Dúnadan 18:27, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Removing the POV tag

message: It seems to me that it would be easier to solve this discussion if more accurate sources could be found, also, i would like to add that some people don't believe the mexican government (i'm not sure if that's the institution you are refering to) as worthy of credibility mostly because of the constant claims that the country is improving; even if that may be true in the economic way, it is not in terms of what the populations sees daily, if the country is improving, then it's only noticeable to the people who drives ferrari's, mercedes benz's and the like, because for almost everyone else, the country seems to be going downwards; and as an obvious consecuence making the government credibility close to null.

:Please read the discussion above. It wouldn't be easier to solve it, unless you read it. The institution we are referring to is not the Mexican government, it is the Institute of International Economics. Whether the Mexican government is worth your credibility or not, that is a completely different matter. --the Dúnadan 04:25, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Personal comment

message: Ok first of all, I find this discussion interesting however most of the points addressed here could be applied to many countries. I really didn't find any use for the issues portrayed here. I belive that it would be more interesting if anyone would mention the fact that Carlos Salinas de Gortari stole millions of dollars (which affected the level of the economic and political stability) which was the reason for his exile not the outrage caused by the crisis itself. I know this for a fact because I am Mexican and this is a common knowledge throughout the population and socio-economic levels. I would like to ask people interested in engaging in this blog to stick to the main issues and avoid writting useless arguments about POVs, etc.
Thank you

replies: text: A few million really cannot affect a country's socioeconomic stability. Also, while the article may or may not be POV, some of the language reads like it is, such as the following: "savvy investors that had bought the tesobonos", "economically orthodox thing to do" (orthodox carries many connotations in the vernacular not suitable for neutrality), and more. Also, "While experts agree that a devaluation was necessary, some critics of Zedillo's incumbent 22-day-old administration, argue that although economically coherent, the way it was handled was politically incorrect. By having announced its plans for devaluation, they argue that many foreigners withdrew their investments, thus aggravating the effects." -- it can be argued that this was the speculative attack, instead of political incorrectness, as it would be 'unorthodox' for a country not to announce its devaluation (politcally, I mean). Mostly, this article reads as if it is far too concerned with the political considerations of the crisis than the economic ones, which is disappointing, as it's titled '1994 economic crisis in Mexico'. 24.82.142.201 18:37, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tips, comments and requests 

message: Portions of this article read like they were run through a spanish-english translator and had the raw output pasted in. These need to be rewritten into proper english. This article needs inline citations on everything and needs to be checked for neutrality. Thanks, Cumulus Clouds (talk) 03:45, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Copyedit needed

message: I think that searching "El error de diciembre" should redirect you to this page. At the moment, the search will lead you to the search results page with this one (1994 economic crisis in Mexico) listed at the top. Why shouldn't it just lead you to this page in the first place?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.179.96.192 (talk) 15:41, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dead link 2 

message: While I wait for someone to pickup my GA nomination of Global financial system for review, I've decided to work on revamping this article to round out its lead as well as improve the quality of its sourcing and citations. Looking at the edit history, it appears to have been largely derelict for some time. Because the literature (journal articles, textbooks, and even news media) overwhelmingly refers to the crisis by the name of Mexican peso crisis and because the article's lead currently acknowledges this more widely used name, I plan on renaming the article when I work on improving the lead unless anyone objects here on the talk page.

replies: text: @User:John Shandy`: That sounds like a reasonable move. I support renaming the article to that. Thank you for your interest in the article. ComputerJA (☎ • ✎) 06:02, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
