It captures trends and common issues and at the same time illustrates the diversity of national experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach chapter centers around an economic problem from such new topics as debt to more enduring issues like poverty and agrarian reform--and presents major economic theories on the causes and solutions to the problem. Complex equations and formulas are omitted; instead, the discussion focuses on the underlying logic of contending policy prescriptions. Cardoso and Helwege provide numerous cross-country examples and tables to demonstrate how individual countries are affected differently by economic trends or policies, gradually building a sense of the complexity of the Latin American economy and the policy implications behind economic solutions. Chapters also include helpful summaries and ideas on what the future may hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eliana Cardoso, Ann Helwege\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0262531259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780262531252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MIT Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/09\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.92h x 7.00w x 0.91d","brand":"Eliana Cardoso","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981524566271,"sku":"9780262531252","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7f631a26-7561-42e9-9feb-adca7d9e55cd.jpg?v=1683256089","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/latin-americas-economy-eliana-cardoso-9780262531252","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
