The fifteen essays in this volume apply the methods of the new
economic history to the history of the Latin American economies
since 1800. The authors combine the historian's sensitivity to
context and contingency with modern or "neoclassical" economic
theory and quantitative methods.
The essays shed new light on the economic history of all the
major economies from Mexico and Cuba to Brazil and Argentina. Some
focus on comparing macroeconomic policies and performance, others
analyze key sectors such as foreign trade, finance, transportation,
and industry, and still others focus on the impact of property
rights, government regulation, and political upheaval.
