Summary

La sucesión presidencial mexicana desata toda clase de afanes y codicias descomunales por muchas razones, pero sobre todo por una: hay demasiado poder de por medio. La única manera de refrenar las pasiones y los intereses en juego sería limitando ese poder; mientras éste no sea el caso, cualquier mecanismo alternativo arrojará las mismas consecuencias y desatará los mismos furores y delirios. Cuatro ex presidentes ofrecen su versión de las sucesiones en que participaron. Jorge Castañeda analiza los mismos hechos desde su propia óptica, con el apoyo adicional de los testimonios de más de una veintena de personalidades protagonistas de la época. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A book to understand the functions and mechanisms of succession in the Mexican political system. In this book, Jorge Castañeda conducts a broad study about the Mexican political system, focusing on the presidents who have held power throughout history. Throughout the pages of the book, we find interviews with presidents such as José López Portillo, Miguel de la Madrid, and Carlos Salinas. The author analyzes why they were elected and, afterward, the reasons behind why their successors were elected. The Inheritance reveals the true mechanisms of succession that govern Mexican politics, as well as why politicans strive to be elected, not at the voting booths, but by "the Great Elector."
