Latin American Development: Economics and Growth in a Changing Nation (5 in 1)

Latin American Development offers a sweeping, multi-country perspective on the forces shaping growth, prosperity, and crisis across the region. This 5-in-1 collection dives into the economic trajectories of El Salvador, Colombia, Brazil, and Venezuela, highlighting how political decisions, social movements, and external pressures have molded each nation’s path. Whether examining rapid development or dramatic decline, the book sheds light on both shared patterns and unique challenges.

In El Salvador, we explore the post-conflict economy and its reliance on remittances, exports, and dollarization. Colombia’s chapters focus on two lenses: its long-term economic history and more recent transformation toward stability and global integration. Brazil’s rise and fall showcases how major industries once symbolized growth, only to falter amid corruption and policy missteps. Finally, Venezuela’s boom and bust narrative reveals how oil wealth led to short-term prosperity followed by severe collapse, hyperinflation, and social unrest.

This volume is perfect for readers seeking to understand how Latin America’s economic landscapes have been built—and broken—by power, policy, and persistence.
