However, Chinese wage inflation means that gap has at least narrowed, and some say it has disappeared. Economists at Merrill Lynch said in April that Mexican wages, nearly double China\u2019s 10 years ago, are now nearly 20 per cent lower.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That, coupled with nearly four dozen international free-trade agreements, is bringing international investment \u2013 and stoking a young, growing Mexican middle class with more buying power. In February, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman said that Mexico \u201cwill become the dominant economic power in the 21st century.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The only fault with the article that I can see is that the advice for investment into the country focuses entirely on stocks and investment funds.
