Ecos de Nueva España es una apasionante y colorida travesía por los siglos que moldearon nuestro tiempo.

Andrés Manuel López Obrador le gusta mirar hacia atrás. Culpa a las administraciones pasadas de situaciones surgidas en su sexenio…y propone soluciones de 1970 para los problemas actuales del país.
