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 UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110674934 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783110674934 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783110674934/original ER -
