After Fox took office in 2000, promising a new era, several younger Cemex execs decided to take him at his word and struck out on their own, competing against their former employer by importing cheaper cement from Russia. Their boat got tied up in every port, and after months of harassment, they took their business to Africa. Oligopolistic pricing is so pronounced in some sectors--like telecom, dominated by Carlos Slim, one of the world's richest men--that it is hurting Mexico's competitiveness...
