A Second Pink Tide in Latin America? – Pt 2/2
With the left's recent electoral successes in Peru and Bolivia, and previously in Mexico and Argentina, does this mean that there is a second so-called "Pink Tide" in Latin America?

René Rojas, professor at SUNY Binghamton, and Hilary Goodfriend, of Jacobin Magazine Latin America, argue that while the left needs a clearer economic plan, it is at an advantage at the moment because of the right's disarray across the region.
