Cover Story:
Used Clothes for a Naked Economy. The "paca" business, street sales of used clothes imported from other countries, was born sixteen years ago. Guatemalan customs authorities and textile guilds are opposed to such business, for it is a disloyal competitor to the guatemalan textile industry and is involved in tax evasion. Nevertheless, this profitable activity keeps prospering. By Luis Ixbalanqué de León. |
