Reviews

Offers an excellent analysis of the factors that contributed to the chronic borrowing by Latin American countries in the 1970s and the consequent run-up in the international debt to its present heights. --Patrick Conway, Latin American Research Review [This] substantial study argues that Latin America's debt crisis of the 1980s and the resulting regionwide recession are owed largely to the role of commercial banks, which overexpanded credit and then overcontracted when the region's liquidity problems became evident. --Abraham Lowenthal, Foreign Affairs One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 1991
