Contents:
Frontmatter -- Acknowledgments -- Contents -- Preface -- Chapter 1 An Introduction to the Economies of Latin America -- Chapter 2 A Brief Economic History -- Chapter 3 What is “Wrong”: The Usual List of Suspects -- Chapter 4 Argentina and Brazil -- Chapter 5 Chile, Colombia, Peru, and Uruguay -- Chapter 6 The Laggards: Bolivia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Venezuela -- Chapter 7 Mexico and Central America -- Chapter 8 Looking Towards the Future -- References -- List of Figures -- List of Tables -- About the Authors -- Index
Summary: While Latin America accounts for approximately 7 percent of the world economy, easily accessible information on the economies of the region is not always easy to find. The existing literature on Latin American economics usually assumes some previous familiarity with the region and is focused on government policy choices. The Economies of Latin America is a book for the general reader needing a quick introduction to the economics of the region. The book is composed of three parts: the first explains Latin America’s economic history and a description of the central economic challenges of the region. The second offers country-specific details. The final part deals with the economic future of the region where the authors put forth a Latin American version of success. This book is a useful, in-depth introduction for students of Latin American economics as well as the general reader.
