Book Information

Pelupessy (development economics, Tilburg U., the Netherlands) argues that the economic reforms put in place in El Salvador after the end of the civil war in the 1990s give insufficient weight to history, institutions, and politics. He explains how to improve their efficiency by considering how economic and political variables have affected social structures and institutions. A balance must be maintained, he says, between growth and distribution for the reforms to be sustainable. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
