In an article published by the Washington Post recently, author Juan Forero makes a claim that the booming economy and evolving middle class in the notoriously troubled country of Colombia have been radically transforming the way Colombians live and act. He provides several pieces of evidence to assert that Colombia is becoming a wonderful place to live and should be a tourist attraction for others in North America and the world. After the fall of the drug kingpin Pablo Escobar in the early 1990s, there has been much turmoil in the nation, with fears once running rampant that drug lords and militant rebels would take over the country. Many intellectuals and business owners fled the country for better chances at growth in safer countries like Brazil. But the author provides quotes from Finance Minister Juan Carlos Echeverry that depict the transforming country as the "Colombian Miracle," and statements like this are drawing people back into the country to invest in their promising future. Because of the reversal in trends in the past decade, the author argues that the economy will continue to grow in Colombia in the coming years, and this will provide a bright future for the once troubled nation.
