Recently, I’ve been hearing more and more about Mexico as a viable manufacturing alternative to China.  So I decided to talk with someone who could provide a unique perspective on what’s happening inside the country.

Damien Cave is a correspondent for the New York Times living in Mexico City.  In today’s episode, we talk about Mexico’s recent rebirth and why it’s an attractive option for U.S. merchants looking to outsource their manufacturing.
