Abstract: The structural adjustment programs of these three countries, like those of many others throughout the world in recent years, have greatly changed previous balances between the state and the private sector, capital and labor, and domestic versus world market influences on the economy. This article exemines some of the consequences of these changes for questions of poverty and income distribution and for question of autonomy.
