Can Latin America's 'new left' stimulate economic development,
enhance social equity, and deepen democracy in spite of the
economic and political constraints it faces? This is the first book
to systematically examine the policies and performance of the
left-wing governments that have risen to power in Latin America
during the last decade. Featuring thorough studies of Bolivia,
Brazil, Chile, and Venezuela by renowned experts, the volume argues
that moderate leftist governments have attained greater, more
sustainable success than their more radical, contestatory
counterparts. Moderate governments in Brazil and Chile have
generated solid economic growth, reduced poverty and inequality,
and created innovative and fiscally sound social programs, while
respecting the fundamental principles of market economics and
liberal democracy. By contrast, more radical governments,
exemplified by Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, have expanded state
intervention and popular participation and attained some short-term
economic and social successes.
