This review is from: The Century of U.S. Capitalism in Latin America (Dialogos) (Paperback)
O'Brien's book on US capitalism in Latin America is only about 180 pages, but, refreshingly, he doesn't waste a word. Essentially he traces how US corporations have functioned in Latin America, how they have sought to transform Latin Americans into consumers of American goods and Fordist style workers in an effort to create new markets. He argues that US companies have been more influential in the development of Latin America than the US government, and he makes a strong case.
This book is essential for Latin Americanists in general and those interested in the relationship between US foreign policy and corporate interests abroad. |
