Orígenes del Changarrito En México, la tradición del comercio callejero se remonta a la época prehispánica. Hay evidencias de un gran mercado que funcionaba en el rumbo de Tlatelolco ya en el siglo XIV, del que años después Hernán Cortés y Bernal Díaz del Castillo harían detallada y asombrada descripción. Mercados más pequeños pero no menos importantes funcionaban en diversos puntos de la ciudad; llamados tianquiztli por los aborígenes, serán el germen de los actuales “tianguis”; mercados ambulantes que se establecen uno o dos días a la semana en diversos puntos de la ciudad.

What we call “informal commerce” has become a phenomenon of extraordinary dimensions, considering the continuous economic crisis that affects the country and the accelerated decrease in employment generation. By 2003 there were more than 3 million people occupied in this informal commerce and its growth rate was more
