This book is essential for any student or policy-maker looking to solve the puzzle of economic development in Latin America. Why, after trying the full gamut of economic reforms, has the region had lackluster economic growth, frequent financial instability, persistent inequality, accentuated social conflict, and acute environmental degradation relative to other developing regions across the world? Franko’s fourth edition is a student and battle-tested guide to the history, economics, politics, and institutional factors that surround Latin American economic policy-making that equips the reader with the perspective needed to learn from the past and forge a better future.
