<br/><br/> In this book Victor Bulmer-Thomas uses his previously unpublished estimates of the national accounts to explore economic and social development in the five Central American republics from 1920. The social upheavals accompanying the post-war export-led boom forced governments in each republic to address the question of economic, social and political reform.
