Latin American Development Since Independence
Manage episode 479889114 series 2726842
Today, we meet Prof. Luis Bértola to discuss the economic history of Latin America since the 1820s. We cover Luis' book with José Antonio Ocampo ('The Economic Development of Latin America since Independence') tracing the development paths of three selected regions through different economic epochs- how did each zone perform, what were the driving forces and what policies emerged in response to internal/external challenges. We finish by discussing the disappointing growth that has plagued the region since trade liberalization in the 1980s and explore some deep rooted problems. We finish our chat by presenting a host of potential (but difficult) solutions that the region may need to undertake.
