N2  - Resumen de la editorial
'... a comprehensive, accessible, and remarkably balanced account of Latin American history since independence.' Journal of Interdisciplinary History 'Victor Bulmer-Thomas wished to write a survey of the economic history of Latin America in the two centuries since the region achieved independence. In the goal he has succeeded admirably.' The American Historical Review 'In an ambitious, clearly written, and impressively documented economic history, Victor Bulmer-Thomas of the University of London examines the successes and failures of export-led growth in the nineteenth century, the withdrawal into inward-looking, import-substitution economics after the Great Depression, and the debt crisis of the 1980s.' Foreign Affair 'Bulmer-Thomas's chronological exposition is well organized and clearly developed, and he uses tables and graphs to good effect ... an excellent resource for clear and accessible overviews of issues, for statistics, and for bibliographic sources.' F. S. Weaver, Choice '[A] judicious and workmanlike attack on difficult problems of economic structure and policy. His analysis is thorough, rigorously independent and non-ideological.' Norman Gall, The Times Literary Supplement "Victor Bulmer-Thomas wished to write a survey of the economic history of Latin America in the two centuries since the region achieved independence. In the goal he has succeeded admirably." American Historical Review
