Struggle Against Dependence: Nontraditional Export Growth in Central America and the Caribbean
ISBN: 9780367289010 / Angielski / Twarda / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Today, most of the countries in Central America and the Caribbean share a common set of problems and structural characteristics that are the result of a similar history of economic development. The specific articulation of these characteristics and the severity of the economic problems in any particular country, of course, vary. In general, the economies of the region are small, agricultural export economies. Sugar, bananas, coffee, and meat have been the main export items for most countries, but natural resource exports-bauxite and oil-have played a key role for a few Caribbean countries.

The Latin American Development Debate: Neostructuralism, Neomonetarism, and Adjustment Processes
ISBN: 9780367293451 / Angielski / Twarda / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the 1980s Latin America experienced its second worst economic crisis of the century; today the average per capita income is about 10 percent less than a decade ago. Because the crisis affected all Latin American countries regardless of their economic policies, the period has become known as "the lost decade in Latin America." In this book, eminent economists from the region reexamine strategies of development—structuralism versus monetarism, liberalism versus statism, growth versus equity—in light of new theoretical knowledge and recent economic events. The essays offer a complex...

The Political Economy of Argentina: Power and Class Since 1930
ISBN: 9780367294854 / Angielski / Twarda / 191 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In analyzing the events that led to this reversal, the author enhances our understanding of the phenomenon of arrested economic development in Argentina and similar developing countries.

There is no consensus about how the importation of foreign workers affects the U.S. labor market, nor about the desirability of some system to...
