    5.0 out of 5 stars a great read, factual to the point of being courageous
    Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2009

    Michael Hogan's newest book SAVAGE CAPITALISM AND THE MYTH OF DEMOCRACY: Latin America in the Third Millenniumtook me by surprise, not the quality; like all of his books, including The Irish Soldiers of Mexico, it is a very good read and Hogan is a master storyteller. The breath of his experiences in Latin America and his clear insights into the current social and problems is what caught me off guard. Dr. Hogan is a "renaissance man," and has examined just about every facet of the region: from coffee production in Colombia to sterilization of women in Amazonia, from the Green Revolution in Mexico to community gardens in Cuba, from the failures of the Catholic Church to the inroads in education. I have lived in some of the areas that he discusses and I find myself in agreement, despite his eclectic approaches and sometimes controversial views. Dr. Hogan demonstrates the courage of his convictions with his chronicle of the developments that have led to what is Central America today and he suggests that the only real solution is local control and grassroots organization, coupled with education that is genuine, free and rigorous. Teachers in Latin America and also in the USA are a constant theme in this book. His hope (and for many of us living in Latin America) is that the future can and will be better if quality of education (on both sides of the border) improves and if we recruit our best and most committed young people to that vocation and treat them with dignity and respect. That said, the book also takes the U.S. to task for it sad history in the region in no uncertain terms. The saying that "history is written by the victors" is too true and I applaud Dr. Hogan for having the courage to tell it like it is.

    4.0 out of 5 stars An Interesting Essay
    Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Michael Hogan's first work revealed the paradoxes that crop up in human existence where what you might have though was ahead was not even close to what was ahead.
    The Irish fleeing The Great Hunger as the Irish refer to the famine that drove many to America discovered that they not only were not welcome but were despised and feared as Papist. Finding work for men often impossible - No Irish need apply - many joined the Army that under Polk was to fight and displace Mexico of two fifths of its territory. Reality segregated they were cannon fodder of little value and expected to kill the brown people who opposed them, but who were also despised Catholics. A battalion formed under their sergeants and crossed the line to be greeted and cheered by the enemy, blessed by the priests and hunted down and in the end executed by their former comrades.
    Hogan living and teaching in Mexico could see the components of all parties' actions and told a fine tale.

    This book continues that style of morality tale with the U.S. still on the wrong side of right and wrong it could be said. If you have not known how the U.S.A. has intervened again and again in what was viewed as "Our Back Yard" you may come away with a sense of shame as you move through his chapters. Much of the damage done has been concentrated on the small countries of Central America: El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Guatemala to destroy and disrupt leftist movements perceived as socialist or communist threats but that carries over to South America even to this day.
    Why? Too close to home? Our third largest trading partner today and the one Corporate Might is rushing to is Communist China, a tern seldom used anymore, but descriptive. Ideology curtsies to profit.
    Hogan hammers home his points concerning what we have done historically and offers what could be done to try to ease the lingering impacts of our actions.

    But he also raises the very interesting developments of Mexico, Central America and Latin America moving on beyond U.S.A. influence and power to making their own history.
    Here I wish he had expanded his presentation with greater detail for this is likely to be the unforeseen and much brighter future. You may want to reference Oscar Guardiola-Rivera, What if Latin America Ruled the World?, a richer treatment of the rethinking of Development strategy and as Hogan discusses the rejection of the neo-liberal Washington Consensus, the IMF and World Bank, units of American control.
    America may discover that its backyard is now behind a good neighbor fence it will have to learn to live with.
    Interesting!

    5.0 out of 5 stars An original firsthand perspective on democracy and the impact of neoliberal economic policy in Latin America.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    What perhaps distinguishes "Savage Capitalism and the Myth of Democracy: Latin America in the Third Millennium" among books of its kind is the interdisciplinary background and original perspective of the author. Dr. Michael Hogan's personal experience working as an educator and consultant in Latin America for the past two decades has allowed him firsthand knowledge of the impact of neoliberal economic policies on the region and its peoples' reactions to them. As in his book "The Irish Soldiers of Mexico", Hogan proves also to be a careful and analytical historian, as well as an engaging storyteller. With references to William James, Octavio Paz, George Orwell, Karl Marx, William Faulkner, Noam Chomsky and Eduardo Galeano, to name a few, Hogan draws on the wisdom of other great thinkers, and his mastery of classic literature and clear understanding of world economics is evident. Michael Hogan is, then, as one reviewer pointed out, a "renaissance man", and should be duly noted as a prominent intellectual of our time.

    "Savage Capitalism and the Myth of Democracy" is written clearly, accessible for students, educators and anyone interested in studying a divergent, well-balanced chronicle of the impact of neoliberal policies in Latin America. Intellectually stimulating throughout, Hogan's essays are, as Noam Chomsky wrote, "lucid and thoughtful", and his point of view is "perceptive, often controversial, but always instructive." Furthermore, Hogan contributes insightful recommendations, most involving corrective measures in education, to tackle the main issues afflicting Latin American nations. They are not quick fix remedies focused on short-term economic benefits, but rather long-term actions intended to assure sustainable prosperity and security in the region. Personally, after reading Hogan's book I am left with a greater curiosity to further research the issues he addresses and the enthusiasm to find out what I can do as a Latin American citizen to promote true democratization in the region.
