Latin America and Foreign Capital in the Twentieth Century: Economics, Polictics, and Institutional Change

Alan M. Taylor ()

Working Papers from Stanford - Hoover Institution

Abstract: Latin America began the twentieth century as a relatively poor region on the periphery of the world economy. This paper argues that policy responses in the 1930s, and subsequent decades of relative economic retardation, can be better understood as that cause and effect of the creation of long-run barriers in international capital markets.
