Description

Book Synopsis
In 1800, the per capita income of the United States was twice that of Mexico and roughly the same as Brazil s. By 1913, it was four times greater than Mexico s and seven times greater than Brazil's. This volume seeks to explain the 19th-century lag in Latin American economic development.

Trade Review
“This outstanding book is a major event in the modernization of Latin American economic history, the first anthology of the work of leading 'new economic historians' of Latin America.”—John H. Coatsworth, Harvard University
