The volume provides explicit connections between culture, politics, and economics over five distinct time periods. Readers will learn how Cinco de Mayo featured into foreign debt repayments in the nineteenth century, how novels like Gabriel García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude reflected on the expansion of railroads during a period of export-led growth, and how a United States federal reserve interest hike in 1979 sent the region into the Lost Decade. When considered collectively, the region's economic trajectory demonstrates that development does not always accompany economic growth.This is an accessible introductory text with clear definitions and discussions of relevant economic concepts, which will be a valuable resource for students of Latin American economic, cultural, and political history. 606 $aHistory / Latin America$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory / Modern$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory 615 7$aHistory / Latin America 615 7$aHistory / Modern 615 7$aHistory 615 0$aHistory. 700 $aBall$b Molly C$01768675 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910886955403321 996 $aLatin American Economic History$94319545 997 $aUNINA
