This book focuses on the way by which latin american organizations (unions, enterprises, universities), institutions (the state, army)and people managed to destroy the potencial for a healthy long-term economic growth and social development. In other words, it tries to identify who were and are being the manufacturers (or creators) of misery, and how did they do it. Though the book is written from an "orthodox" liberal point of view, it doesn't show the arrogancy of "El Manual del Perfecto Idiota Latinoamericano". Instead, the book attributes "guilts" on each and every side fairly. It also succeeds in providing some useful lessons and guidelines about what must be changed in order to let Latin America get into development. And, it is important to notice that most of these lessons are valuable and important besides the reader's ideological perspective.

Brilliant! An excellent book for those really concerned about the social and economical future of Latin America...For those who want to make a change.

Es un libro interesantísimo que nos da un recorrido por las diferentes rutas que han llevado a latinoamerica a la decadencia de hoy en dia.
Le recomiendo este libro a todo aquel interesado en saber mas allá de lo obvio sobre el origen del subdesarrollo y la miseria en nuestros paises.

I know a lot of intelligent people whose ideas never change and think that determinate regimen is the solution to sweep away poverty. But they never attend the facts in their effort to maintain their beliefs. If you think you are a smart person you must agreed William Blake's quotation "The man who never alters his opinions is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind". No matter what kind of ideas you profess about underdevelopment, this book surely is going to confront a lot of them and will provide you with a wider view. Give it a change to understand why Latin America is so poor.

This book shows everything that has gone wrong n latinamerica and it not only shows one side. It talks about the bad things that corporations, unions, dictators, politicians etc. have done and why thanks to all of them and also the peole latin america is as bad as it is today.
