(CNN) — Una parte importante del legado de Jimmy Carter no ha recibido demasiada atención, ni siquiera en medio de la reciente avalancha de homenajes al 39º presidente de Estados Unidos tras ingresar en un centro de cuidados paliativos.Las medidas que Carter tomó durante su presidencia siguen dando forma a Estados Unidos décadas después de que dejara el cargo.
