I was reading Wikipedia and game across this passage:

In December 1994, a month after Salinas was succeeded by Ernesto Zedillo, the Mexican economy collapsed, with a rapid rescue packaged authorized by U.S. President Bill Clinton and major macroeconomic reforms started by president Zedillo, the economy rapidly recovered and growth peaked at almost 7% by the end of 1999.^[69]

Very interesting. Doubt the OP is still around, but I've found this and this, though.

They are not written by Austrians if that's what you mean. Sadly I am not aware of any economical history of Mexico written from an Austrian prospective.

I have tried searching Mises Hispano and other Spanish language Austrian Economics sites but to no avail. Sorry.

This is blog from the UNAM course with biography, lectures etc: http://historiaeconomicademexicoi.blogspot.it/

There's a very good series about Mexican economy written by various authors (Esparanza, Fujigaki, Malvido etc) and published by Oceano del Norte under the simple title Historia Economica de Mexico. Each volume tackles a different issue: agriculture, mining etc.

A recent, highly praised book is Historia Economica General de Mexico edited by Sandra Kuntz-Fickel. I ahven't had the occasion of reading it yet though.

Few Austrians know it but Ludwig Von Mises himself was actually asked by the Mexican government for economic advice. I know something was written about it but cannot find the references right now...

Try emailing Prof. Colin Lewis (c.m.lewis@lse.ac.uk) who specializes in Latin American Economic History from the LSE. He hasn't been teaching the course this year, but he might still offer some advise. Goodluck!

I admit to lack the resources you ask for, but if anyone gets hold of some, there is a place to keep them: Mexico. Thanks in advance!
