This choice best reflects the economic and social conditions of Mexico during the time Tatiana lived there. The 1950s and 1960s were marked by significant economic inequality, with the wealthy minority benefiting from government policies while the majority of the population struggled to make ends meet. While poverty rates did decline slightly during this time, it was still pervasive throughout the country. Neoliberal policies, which prioritize free-market economics and privatization, did not become popular in Mexico until the 1980s and 1990s.
