{"product_id":"9780511739125","title":"Latin American Development Priorities: Costs and Benefits","description":"Many countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have achieved considerable economic growth, yet the region still faces many seemingly intractable problems. The conventional wisdom in development agencies - that prioritization is impossible and that everything must be done - is simply not effective. Latin American Development Priorities shows how limited resources could be used for the greatest benefit of the Latin American and Caribbean region. A panel of economists met over three days in San José to review proposals to tackle the ten most important challenges, which emerged from a survey by the Inter-American Development Bank. The expert panel was asked a question which appears simple but is actually very difficult to answer: What should Latin American governments do with an additional nominal $10 billion? Hard choices are needed if Latin America's problems are to be tackled effectively. This book provides the means to make those choices as objectively as possible.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47105383923952,"sku":"9780511739125","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780511739125_p0.jpg?v=1763709441","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780511739125","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
