This book introduces readers to the economic problems of Latin America. Political, social, and cultural factors are discussed only as they relate to particular aspects of the economic problems we analyze. The book is written primarily for undergraduate students in the fields of economic development and Latin American studies. The absence of sophisticated development models and theory, how-ever, makes the book understandable to interested laymen, as well as to those whose travels and business bring them into contact with Latin America.
