Part of the reason that Mexico's development has been behind not only the US, but behind many other Latin nations, is due to the governmental instability of the 19th century leading all the way into the early 20th century.

Also, free markets do exist in Mexico, however, the central government has considerable control over many essential economic sectors.

In addition, the last 15 to 20 years, has seen highly active drug cartels divert government attention away from the economy in order to try to control illegal drug trafficking.
