Review
Jeffrey G. Williamson, Laird Bell Professor of Economics, Harvard University : This is an exciting moment in the study of the economic history of Latin America. It is now being clone by scholars with good economic tools, asking questions that speak to the present, and with the grit to data-mine the archives. Equally important, economists and historians are now listening, after decades of deaf ears. Two of the best Latin American economic historians-a spectacular new young star teamed with a 'vise, long-established leader-have combined to edit papers from the best Latin American economic historians in the field. The hook is a land mark.
Colin M. Lewis, Associate Professor in Latin in A American Economic History London School of Economics & Political Science : This is an important collection of papers on the under-researched domestic aspects of the Latin American economies since 1800. The authors combine the new institutionalism approach with a high quality and wide range of data to explain key developments in capital markets, wages and prices, the role of the lobby groups, and the emergence of modern business and financial enterprises in Latin America. In short, these are highly original essays that present stimulating results. The volume mount an effective challenge to existing orthodoxies.
