The best choice that I could think of would be a past president and not one in the previous years that is still alive the best choice would be either John F. Kennedy because of his involvement in the moon landing or Franklin D. Rosevelt for his involvement with the war.
I think you missed to give the actual option that would be the answer to this question. I am answering the question based on my knowledge and research. Lack of investment or capital is the economic problem that many Latin American nations faced in the years following World War II.
