Description
Two men and a woman sit in the dining car of the train. The man in the foreground looks out of the window the desert landscape as he sits at a dining table. The 80's were considered the "lost decade" because of Mexico's debt crisis. This was due to the falling oil prices that left Mexico without foreign currency to pay off its $80 billion debt. This in effect, increased high levels of unemployement, especially in rural areas. Dos hombres y una mujer se sientan en el vagón comedor del tren. El hombre en primer plano mira por la ventana del paisaje del desierto mientras se sienta en una mesa de comedor. Los años 1980 fueron considerados como la "década perdida" debido a la crisis de la deuda de México. Esto se debió a la caída de los precios del petróleo que dejó a México sin moneda extranjera para pagar su deuda de $80 mil millones. Esto, en efecto, aumentó los altos niveles de desempleo, especialmente en las zonas rurales.
