520 1 $a"In this volume, leading experts on the economic history of Latin America examine the puzzle and reach important conclusions. Two themes are prominent: first, that institutions have played an important role in shaping the Latin American economies; and second, that political considerations - including, in particular, distributional struggles - have been crucial in determining economic outcomes in the region. There is a focus on the interaction of economic growth, taxation, and institutions, as well as how financial crises, lending, and inflation have affected development. The international context is important, as is clear from attention to protectionism and economic performance." "This vital book offers analytical insights into today's debates on the implications that political and institutional changes may have for economic development. Of interest to scholars and policymakers alike, it offers new insight into the relationship between political systems and economic development."--BOOK JACKET.
