It demonstrates how the implementation of even very painful free-market economic reforms in Chile and Mexico have helped to consolidate democratic politics without engendering a backlash against either reform or democratization. This national-level compatibility between free markets and democracy, however, is founded on their rural incompatibility. In the countryside, free-market reforms socially isolate peasants to such a degree that they become unable to organize independently, and are vulnerable to the pressures of local economic elites. This helps to create an electoral coalition behind free-market reforms that is critically based in some of the market's biggest victims: the peasantry. The book concludes that the comparatively stable free-market democracy in Latin America hinges critically on its defects in the countryside; conservative, free-market elites may consent to open politics only if they have a rural electoral redoubt. 606 $aDemocracy$zChile 606 $aDemocracy$zMexico 606 $aFree enterprise$zChile 606 $aFree enterprise$zMexico 606 $aRural population$zChile 606 $aRural population$zMexico 606 $aPolitical participation$zChile 606 $aPolitical participation$zMexico 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aFree enterprise 615 0$aFree enterprise 615 0$aRural population 615 0$aRural population 615 0$aPolitical participation 615 0$aPolitical participation 676 $a320.972 700 $aKurtz$b Marcus J$00 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819263903321 996 $aFree market democracy and the Chilean and Mexican countryside$93973430 997 $aUNINA
