Quite a bit. 'Pemex is the strength of Mexico. Pemex has Mexico in its name. Pemex is future for Mexico.' Night after night, these phrases can be heard on Mexican television. The value of Pemex, the state-run oil company, is drummed into Mexicans with Goebbels-like repetition, and with about as much regard for the truth. Pemex is big and does make a big contribution to the Mexican economy. But it ought to do much more. Mexico's oil wealth is being squandered in corruption and incompetence--mainly corruption.
