The Political Economy of Latin American Independence (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Mendes Cunha, Alexandre; Suprinyak, Carlos Eduardo

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Through a series of case studies on different topics and national experiences, this volume shows how political economy has occupied an important place in discussions about emancipation and independence that occurred in the region. This book illustrates each of these strategies, exploring issues such as trade policy, money and banking, socio-economic philosophy, nationalism, and economic development. The expert authors stress how the originality of Latin American economic thought often resides in the creative appropriation of ideas originally devised in different contexts and thus usually ill-suited to local realities.
