Understanding Latin America’s Economy in the Twenty-First Century
Join us on April 15th to learn more about Latin America's economy in the twenty-first century from author Jeff Dayton-Johnson. Latin America’s economic performance is often depicted as a long sequence of repeated failures, including its contribution to global financial crises as well as its slow growth and intractable inequalities. Its experience in the twenty-first century, however, reveals considerable and underappreciated successes. Understanding those successes—as well as setbacks—is critical to understanding both the region’s prospects and the rapidly changing global economic order.
