Summary

The first volume in this series explores the impact on Latin America of the extraordinary transformation in the international economy that took place in the half century or so which preceded the world depression of the 1930s. The internationally respected authors show how the response varied in terms of both growth and distribution, shaped by varying preconditions, by natural resources and geography. The interplay of economic developments with political and social structures had profound and varied effects on policy making and on institutions, of great significance for the next decade.
