Debt and Development Crises in Latin America: The End of an Illusion (Clarendon Paperbacks)

In the early 1980s, widespread debt crises erupted simultaneously in most Latin American countries. This book examines the link between these debt problems and a more profound and longer-term growth and development crisis, both in Latin America and in the industrialized countries. The authors argue that the debt and development crises have common origins; propose measures to treat both, including fundamental changes in the policies of developed countries, the international financial system, and the national development strategies of developing countries; and posit a radical solution to the debt problem.Griffith-Jones, Stephany is the author of 'Debt and Development Crises in Latin America: The End of an Illusion (Clarendon Paperbacks)', published 1989 under ISBN 9780198286912 and ISBN 0198286910.
