Sure it’s a generalization, and perhaps that’s a bad thing to do. But if you look at foreign investment, too often the establishment in Lima gets wide-eyed and takes the money without much consideration for long term benefits to all of Peru.

You're right Rachel, one of my favorite quotes, Peru is a poor country because Peruvians act like poor people.

I’m on the same page; unfortunately Peru’s growth comes from external investors and investments. Garcia’s government has done little to encourage internal growth.

This is not the first time, however, that the Peruvian government has sold out to foreigners. Just look at the Guano Boom of the 70′s.

What would happen to Peru’s economy and people if all foreign investors fled the country or exhausted Peruvian resources?

I hope one day that Peru has a responsible and intelligent leader. It’s a wealthy country with a poor mentality.
