Book Synopsis



¿El pobre es pobre porque quiere? ¿Los jóvenes son más flojos que antes y por eso ganan menos? ¿Quienes reciben programas sociales los gastan en tonterías? ¿Los estados del norte trabajan más que los del sur? ¿Tu jefe ya no te puede subir el sueldo?

NO, ASÍ NO ES

Así no es desmitifica conceptos equivocados y devela verdades incómodas que demasiados mexicanos creen, pero que son falsas. Ideas que asumimos sobre meritocracia, clase media, clasismo, salarios e impuestos, pero que son escandalosamente erradas. Burdas mentiras que sirven para justificar las más grandes injusticias de México.

Con datos, evidencia científica e información, Viri Ríos y Ray Campos --dos destacados académicos-- te llevarán a desafiar tus propias creencias, desmontando cada prejuicio de la mano de relatos cautivadores.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Is the poor person poor because they want to be? Are young people lazier than before and therefore earn less? Do those who receive social programs waste them on nonsense? Do northern states work harder than southern ones? Can your boss really no longer give you a raise?

NO, THAT'S NOT RIGHT

That's Not Right debunks mistaken concepts and reveals the uncomfortable truths that far too many Mexicans believe, even though they are false. Ideas we assume about meritocracy, the middle class, classism, wages, and taxes--ideas that are shockingly wrong. Crude lies that help justify Mexico's greatest injustices.

With data, scientific evidence, and solid information, Viri Ríos and Ray Campos --two distinguished scholars-- guide you to challenge your own beliefs, dismantling each prejudice through compelling narratives.
