Subject:

Description:

Latin American economic history has been a difficult and frustrating quest for sustained and equalitarian economic growth. This quest has included periods of outstanding economic performance, but these are usually followed by economic catastrophes. Brief moments when inequality seemed to recede were likewise followed by social disasters. The intention of this course is to expose students to the main topics and debates in Latin American economic history about this region's failure to overcome economic backwardness, poverty, and inequality.
