While the economies of many Latin American and Asian countries havesoared in the past two decades, Argentina -- a rich country in manyways -- has had great difficulty in fulfilling its economic potential.Remaking the Argentine Economy examines the historical reasons behindArgentina's disappointing economic performance since World War II, aswell as recent encouraging changes that have taken place in Argentina'seconomy. According to de la Balze, Argentina's failure to thriveeconomically is a case of a relative modern country pursuing misguidedeconomic strategies and its resulting inability to cope with changes inthe international environment. Argentina's turbulent and unstablepolitical system has also hampered its economic development. But thelast few years have given rise to a more optimistic scenario: stringenteconomic reforms and profound political changes have begun to turn theeconomy around. De la Balze provides a concise, thorough exploration ofall facets of Argentina's postwar economy and singles out the keyissues that Argentina must face to ensure the success of the politicaland economic reforms underway. Remaking the Argentine Economy providesa valuable case study of one country's attempt to re-engineer itseconomic viability in today's world.
