Te da un perspectiva de lo que fue la presidencia de 9 hombres, desde Avila Camacho hasta Carlos Salinas y los inicios de Zedillo y me quedo con una frase de Zedillo que a mi parecer ha sido uno de los mejores presidentes de México "Cuando uno cumple el deber, no debe ser reconocido.

Una excelente mirada a lo que fue el sistema presidencialista mexicano bajo el PRI como partido de estado.
