Between the Washington, post-Washington, and Wall Street Consensus in the COVID era: the Mexican case

Abstract This article discusses the policy choices of Left-Centre president Andres Manuel López Obrador (known as AMLO) in Mexico in the context of the neoliberal institutional legacy that his administration inherited. The persistence of neoliberalism under the AMLO government is manifest in the monetary and financial policies pursued—particularly in the context of the pandemic—that merge successive neoliberal approaches with socioeconomic regulation, namely the Washington, the post-Washington, and the Wall Street Consensus.
