About Latin America ¡SinFiltro!
Welcome to Latin America ¡SinFiltro! — your independent, ad-free window into the political and economic forces shaping Latin America today. Here, you’ll find sharp, accessible analysis of the region’s biggest challenges — from inequality and corruption to organised crime and democratic backsliding — as well as the opportunities for social and economic progress.
I’m a researcher and educator working on the political economy of Latin America, with a particular focus on Colombia, social justice, and organised crime. Each year, I teach a university course on Business and Social Justice in Latin America — work that has taken me across the region and inspired this newsletter. This space is where I unpack the headlines, dig into structural issues, and spotlight the people and policies shaping Latin America’s future.
If you care about Latin America — its politics, economies, conflicts, and potential — you’re in the right place.
