"Unusually coherent for an edited volume, the book is impressive in its wealth of data and its careful, thorough empirical analyses, which control for several confounding factors." -- Latin American Research Review "Nineteen Latin American Economists present a powerful, well-documented case that the privatization of state-owned enterprises has been a regional success story, popular perceptions notwithstanding... This accessible, state-of-the-art collection will be valuable reading to students of privatization worldwide." -- Foreign Affairs
