This text examines the relationships between entrepreneurs and the State in Mexico, from a long range perspective, in order to show that the political participation of economic actors  has both common traits and singularities in relation to  entrepreneurs in other Latin American countries. The paper is developed around an attempt to answer the following five questions: What characteristics do entrepreneurs acquire as they attempt to fit into a political system that emerges out of social revolution? What importance does the Mexican Council of  Businessmen have in the relationship between businessmen and the State? How do entrepreneurs participate in political transition? What type of conduct did entrepreneurs exhibit in the 2006 presidential elections? How has economic crisis affected firms and entrepreneurs in Mexico, and society as a whole?
