Opis

The book explores the process of economic liberalisation in Latin America and revises the transition from the import substitution industrialisation model to the market-oriented reforms. It explains the theoretical foundations of the neoliberal paradigm and the implications of the policies that were labelled as Washington Consensus.

Recenzje

"This book would be of great interest to practitioners, students or researchers interested in understanding neoliberalism from the Latin American perspective. It effectively explains the theoretical approximations to economic liberalization, and the case studies are elucidating, making the subject easy to understand." -Diana Morales, Umeå University, Umeå, Sweden
