“This lucid study is a rare find: an analysis of a developing
economy that successfully integrates the full range of development
issues, including economic growth, competitiveness, poverty, social
equity, agriculture, industry, and external and domestic finance,
and places them all within their historical and political context.
Moreover, this study accomplishes this feat for an intricate
economy that defies easy understanding. I particularly recommend
this book for undergraduate and graduate students in development
economics: they will find it an inspiring performance.”—Paul
Beckerman
“This thought-provoking book will be of great interest to
policymakers and readers in general searching for new answers to
the difficult dilemmas that have haunted the recent history of Peru
and other Latin American countries.”—Raul Hopkins, Journal of
Development Studies
“Sheahan is an economist with a distinguished record of scholarship
on Latin America, and like his previous work, this volume is
clearly written, cogently documented, and expresses humane
sensibilities and an independent viewpoint.”—F. S. Weaver,
CHOICE
“Sheahan's study is unusual for its knowledgeable and insightful
discussion of political economy issues and the relevant history. It
is accessible both to specialists and generalists, to economists
and non-economists, and will be very rewarding to all of the
above.”—Albert Berry, Hispanic American Historical Review
