Latin America is a failed civilization. Failed in relation to what? Failed in relation to China and India in particular, in the period that extends from the end of World War two to the present. If in 1945, Latin America as a whole, especially Brazil, Argentina and the Southern Cone, and Mexico, was somewhat ahead of China and India, it is now clearly behind, in terms of demographic and economic growth, on the one hand, and status or influence in the world, on the other. This failure can be observed in seven topics: the question of coloniality, the role of the United States, Catholicism, the Baroque as a cultural signifier for Latin America, the nation-state, Socialism, and the Hispanic or Latino community in the United States.
