Díaz government's economic policies

The Díaz government, which ruled Mexico from 1876 to 1911, focused on modernizing the economy through foreign investment and infrastructure development. It promoted industry, agriculture, and mining, often favoring large landowners and foreign businesses, especially in oil and railroads. This led to economic growth but also increased inequality and social unrest. While it improved transportation and communication networks, it marginalized many Mexicans and concentrated wealth. Díaz's policies ultimately contributed to the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution in 1910, as discontent grew among the working class and rural populations over land and labor rights.
