Silent Revolution: The Rise and Crisis of Market Economics in Latin America

Duncan Green is the director of research at the Just Pensions Project and an expert on socially responsible investment. In Silent Revolution: The Rise And Crisis Of Market Economics In Latin America (now in an updated and expanded second edition), Duncan Green offers the reader a hard look at the economic reforms which are wrenching the Latin American market today. Silent Revolution is a clarion wake-up call against unchecked dangers of neoliberalism run wild, the environmental costs of adjusting to change, the IMF and World Bank as "poverty brokers", and so much more. A stark and thoughtful discussion of potentially global importance, Silent Revolution ought to be mandatory reading for students of economics, governmental and corporate policy makers, and the non-specialist general reader with an interest in contemporary Latin American issues.
