Reviews

"""This book provides a lucid introduction to the history of economic development in Mexico by means of a comparison with the United States. It engages with debates in economic history about the roles and importance of geography and institutions in the paths to prosperity. It also revisits dependency theory while putting the emphasis on national contexts."" Ingrid Bleynat, King’s College London"
