Around the year 2000, one of the administrators revised the content for the Socio Economic Development course. What was found was astonishing and sad at the same time. The text used, along with the curriculum was filled with Marxist propaganda and deep resentments against the West in general, the United States especifically, and most of all against capitalism and private property. The partners were perplexed, but at the same time decided to do something about it. The curriculum was changed and improved dramatically, the teacher was also changed along with the text used. Now, the course is designed to give students a diferent view, a hypothesis on why Latin America has lagged behind the Western World. The student will revise his or her own resentments which are generally ingrained deep in the Latin American psyche. The text used is The Guide To The Perfect Latin American Idiot by Alvaro Vargas Llosa, Plinio Apuleyo Mendoza and Carlos Alberto Montaner.
