Silent Revolution: The Rise and Crisis of Market Economics in Latin America by D

Description: Silent Revolution by Duncan Green This work describes the imposition of neoliberal economic models in Latin America, the role of the IMF and World Bank in enforcing them, and their consequences. It also shows how the economic meltdown in Latin America was prepared by an economic strategy. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "Superb. Combining unassailable analysis with a thorough grasp of economic and political trends, Duncan Green convincingly argues that the region is headed for even greater tragedy unless people move toward more equitable and ecologically sustainable models of economic development."--Walden Bello, founder of Focus on the Global South The first edition of Greens Silent Revolution, published in 1995, described the imposition of neoliberal economic models in Latin America, the role of the IMF and World Bank in enforcing them, and their consequences. In this second, revised edition, Green extends his analysis into the present, showing how the current economic meltdown in Latin America was prepared by an economic strategy that could never live up to its own claims. The new edition was completed in a moment when the Argentinean economy is in ruins, Brazil is on the brink of collapse, riots are taking place in Uruguay, Peru, and in Paraguay, and a U.S. supported coup has just been averted in Venezuela. It will be an essential work for understanding ongoing developments in the region. Author Biography Duncan Green is Head of Research at Oxfam. He has worked as a teacher, journalist, and researcher throughout Latin America. He is the author of many books; his most recent one is From Poverty to Power. Duncan lives in Brixton, South London, with his wife, two children and two cats. Review "Simple, unpretentious narrative makes this volume an accessible and inviting source for nonspecialists. Its many photographs enhance the appeal of the book and provide the faces referred to in the title. Throughout the volume, framed insets open up the text to provide an occasional window for a statistical table, a biographical sketch, or to give voice to a first-person narrative that humanizes the text."-- "Multicultural Review" Long Description "Superb.
