Domingo Brief — The State Is Selling

Welcome back to the Domingo Brief! Across the hemisphere, **command economies** and **state monopolies** are cracking open to private capital. One of the last holdouts unveiled 176 measures in its deepest market turn since a 1959 revolution. A self-styled libertarian crosses two continents to court the world's richest founders. A three-week wave of road blockades has already cost one country double its annual foreign investment, and now the protesters want a president gone. Plus: the largest overseas bet a firm from one country has ever placed, a canal that just turned a Middle East crisis into traffic, and the foundry race that could multiply one nation's chip output 25-fold.

Each Sunday issue of the Domingo Brief curates the most important stories shaping Latin America — economics, politics, business, and markets — with original Latinometrics data analysis on every story, plus venture-capital and startup funding updates, a trivia question, and curated reading picks sourced from the best local and international outlets.
