Culture and the behavior of elites in Latin America

i just realized that this didn't post anything whatever...
Activitie: I read a article and wrote what I understand.
The lecture said that the latin American cultures could became more important economicaly to the world but also said that there are some elites that restring the grow of the latin American societies, the autor clasifed the elites on:
politicians
military
bussinesmen
clergy
intellectuals
the left
Reflection: i belive tha this is a very important isue in latin american societies and we just thought that its normal but they are a very importan influense for the economical develpment of the countries.
