The closest might be Dulles’ overseas work in 1949 as legal adviser to Overseas Consultants, Inc., whose “most promising venture was the design of a long-range development program [for] Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, shah of Iran” (Peter Grose, Gentleman Spy: The Life of Allen Dulles [Boston: Richard Todd/Houghton Mifflin, 1994], 295).

Anthony DePalma, “Gap between Mexico’s Rich and Poor Is Widening,” New York Times, July 20, 1996: “Today the richest 10 percent of Mexicans control 41 percent of the country’s wealth, while the bottom half of the population receives only 16 percent of all national income. The government admits that the number of Mexicans living in extreme poverty has grown to 22 million, an increase over just the last 15 months of 5 million people, roughly equal to the population of Scotland.” In 2008 a report from the Organization for Economic Development reported that of its 30 member states, Mexico had the largest gap between its wealthiest and poorest households, followed in order by Turkey and the United States. Mexico’s poverty rate was also the highest, at more than 20 percent (Jim Lobe, “Rich-Poor Divide Worst among Rich Countries,” Institute for Policy Studies, October 21, 2008, http://ipsnews
