Green, Duncan

Silent revolution : the rise and crisis of market economics in Latin America / Duncan Green - 2nd ed. - New York : Monthly Review Press , c2003. - 299 p. : ill. ; 24 cm.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 276-290) and index.

In this second edition, Green extends his analysis - the first edition focused on the imposition of neoliberal economic models in Latin America, the role of the IMF and World Bank in enforcing them, and their consequences - into the present, showing how the current economic meltdown in Latin America was prepared by an economic strategy that could never live up to its own claims. This edition was completed in a moment when the Argentinean economy is in ruins, Brazil is on the brink of collapse, riots are taking place in Uruguay, Peru, and in Paraguay, and a U.S. supported coup has just been averted in Venezuela. It will be an essential work for understanding ongoing developments in the region.
