Beskrivning
Latin America is attracting increasing interest due to the strong economic performance of the last decade and to the political changes that are taking place. This book gives a unique, comprehensive, and up to date view of Latin America economic development over the two centuries since Independence. It considers Latin American economies within the wider context of the international economy, and covers economic growth, international trade, capital flows, and trends in inequality and human development. With chapters that cover different eras, it traces the major developments of Latin American countries and offers a novel and coherent interpretation of the economic history of the region. It combines a wealth of original research, new perspectives, and empirical information to provide a synthesis of the growing literature that both complements and extends previous studies.

Recensioner i media

The development failures and challenges of Latin America today are deeply rooted in its past. This lucid and authoritative book by two of the continents leading scholars is the place to start to understand how that past was formed and has evolved to shape the present in all its complexity. Indispensable.
