Trade Review“Latin America after the Financial Crisis is stronger on diagnosis than innovative policy prescription. … a richly textured view of how Latin America experienced the global financial crisis. Opening with commonly understood causes of the crisis in globalized capital markets, the book contests the neoclassical view that unsound monetary policy, regulatory failures, fraudulent practices, and external shocks were at the core of the seismic crisis.” (Patrice Franko, Latin American Research Review, Vol. 54 (1), 2019)
