Geography shaped settlement patterns, with major cities built in highlands for temperate climates. African diseases devastated native populations, altering tropical region habitability. The hosts divide Latin America geographically (Spanish vs. Portuguese colonies) and racially. Mexico is statistically closest to the global median of anthropological patterns. The region evolved politically from aristocratic republics to military dictatorships to democracies. Spanish colonial institutions created extractive systems that prevented property rights development. A dozen families often control most of the economy in many Latin American countries. The hosts identify five distinct regions: Mexico, Caribbean basin, Andes, Southern Cone, and Brazil. Latin America historically depended on Spain/Portugal, then Britain, then America, and now increasingly China. Argentina and El Salvador show potential for breaking historical patterns of corruption. Most Latin American countries struggle with lack of trust, weak property rights, and bloated bureaucracies. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
