The economic situation was dire with high inflation, government intervention in the banking system including freezing of deposits to prevent further flight from the country, and large fiscal deficits. Politically, then President Mahaud was being challenged by a congressional lack of support for measures to stabilize the economic situation, a radicalised indigenous movement, and a restive armed forces. In this environment, and as a policy of last resort, the government decided to adopt the U.S. dollar as its currency. This book thoroughly examines the conditions in which this decision was made. It looks historically at Ecuador's economic and social structure and assesses the impact felt as a result of the decision. 410 0$aDirections in development (Washington, D.C.) 606 $aMonetary policy$zEcuador 606 $aCurrency question$zEcuador 606 $aDollar, American 606 $aWomen$zEcuador$xEconomic conditions 607 $aEcuador$xEconomic conditions$y1972- 607 $aEcuador$xSocial conditions 615 0$aMonetary policy 615 0$aCurrency question 615 0$aDollar, American. 615 0$aWomen$xEconomic conditions. 676 $a339.5/3/09866 701 $aBeckerman$b Paul Ely$01861521 701 $aSolimano$b Andres$0381461 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956551803321 996 $aCrisis and dollarization in Ecuador$94467654 997 $aUNINA
