73. The Making of Mexico; World Cup, Education & Growth, Digital Payments, Stablecoins, & the Plata Documentary

Two standout interviews this week.Harry Krensky, Managing Partner of Discovery Americas, shares his views on what it takes to succeed in Mexico private equity — what works, what doesn't, and where the industry is headed. And before that, Pamela Starr joins us to discuss her new book The Making of Mexico: Revolution, Reform, and Transformation. And as always Eduardo and Damian begin the episode by dissecting the week's news: World Cup ticket pricing; Mexico's education challenges and their drag on economic growth; Banxico's latest digital payments push; the Stablecoin Conference 2026 and the convergence of traditional and decentralised finance; and the Plata 2 hour documentary; the improbable story of how a team of Russian fintech exiles joined forces with local hires to build Mexico's 53rd bank, now valued at over $4bn.
