Can Latin America Compete?: Confronting the Challenges of Globalization

As the world endures a financial crisis, and capital grows scarce, the question arises: can Latin America compete? Many argue that macroeconomic and trade reforms achieved in the 1990s merely put a handsome coat of paint over education, Labor, judicial, and administrative reforms that remain incomplete. This book identifies and analyzes ten factors that most influence the competitiveness of Latin American nations and will shape their economic futures. In their frank and direct assessment, pulling no punches, the authors present viable courses of action that Latin American can take to increase its ability to compete in the global economy.
