...expected to inundate the country with $750 million in spending. AMLO's allies are already likening him to the successful and clearly left-wing candidates in other parts of Latin America, for example, saying he will emulate Chavez's skillful management of petroleum revenues to restart the economy; imitate Brazil's President Lula da Silva in achieving consensus with Mexico's labor unions; follow the lead of Bolivia's Morales in coming to terms with the country's Indian population; and from Argentina's President Nestor Kirchner, he will learn to confront the International Monetary Fund.

TRADE-OFF Europe is due for withering criticism this week as crucial World Trade Organization (wto) talks get under way in Hong Kong, since Brussels' concessions on farm subsidies and tariffs weren't enough for the likes of the U.S., Australia and Brazil. Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson wanted to go further, but Paris made it clear that if he promised too much on agriculture, France would veto a final wto agreement. Mandelson had hoped his offers on agriculture would kick-start negotiations on trade in services and industrial tariffs, but the talks barely...
