About the Book

Latin America is a living contradiction. Due to its natural resource wealth, it is the one place in the world where all efforts have been concentrated on encouraging development. However, it is also the place that has shown the most difficulties and the least results. This essay offers a balance on the results frustrating of such efforts critically drawing attention to the stimulation strategies proposed by the Washington Consensus, and rejecting them, arguing that such a generic collection of measures can not be equally applied to all countries due to political, social, economic, and cultural differences. America Latina es una contradiccion viviente. Si bien debido a sus abundantes recursos se trata del lugar del mundo sobre el que se ha dedicado una mayor cantidad de esfuerzos en aras de estimular su crecimiento, es tambien el que, preocupantemente, ha presentado mas problemas y menos resultados. Este ensayo presenta un balance frustrante sobre los resultados producto de dichos esfuerzos. De manera muy critica, el autor llama la atencion sobre las estrategias de estimulo, propuestas desde el Consenso de Washington, y las rechaza, arguyendo que un "recetario" tan generico de medidas es imposible aplicarlo de la misma forma para todos los paises debido a las diferencias politicas, sociales, economicas e incluso culturales.
