Many Mexicans were upset this week to read that Joaquin Guzman, aka El Chapo,was listed by Forbes as No.41 of the 67 most powerful people in the world. The other Mexican listed was Carlos Slim at No. 4. "For a U.S. publication to distinguish Slim and El Chapo, far from filling us with pride, should make us reflect," journalist Miguel Angel Granados Chapa noted. "The two figures embody our worst evils: Slim represents the extreme of deep, growing inequality, and Guzman embodies the prosperous [life of] crime and impunity."
