An Economic History of Twentieth-Century Latin America Volume I: The Export Age

'This is a remarkable project, bringing together the world's leading authorities in the field and some of the best of a rising generation, with a gratifyingly strong representation of Latin American scholarship. The combination of lucid survey chapters with sectoral and national case histories is unique in its quality and scale.' - James Dunkerly

'In The Export Age, Thorp and a distinguished team of authors reexamine Latin America's economic development before the 1930s to advance our understanding of why export growth so often failed to transform the economies of the region.' - Professor Victor Bulmer, University of London

'...a useful and concise source of background information on the economic histories of specific countries...' - Gail D. Triner, Enterprise & Society

'...this large collaborative effort will prove worthwhile to a very wide audience.' - Gail Triner, Latin American Research Review
