Latin American economies, post-war period, development, structural problemsAbstract
After a prolonged period of expansion, characterised by profound economic and social changes, the Latin American economies began the eighties with an increasingly poor performance. The present work offers a picture of the region’s development in the post-war period and highlights the structural problems involved. The analysis is based on a statistical and econometric study covering the 10 major countries which accounted for 95% of the region’s GDP in the middle of the seventies. Particular countries such as Mexico have also been examined as regards certain aspects.
