The Political Economy of Agricultural Booms Managing Soybean Production in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay

“Turzi’s analysis of soybean production in the three case studies dissects the political economy of Latin America and, to an extent, that of other developing regions, examining the role played by agribusiness and its dealings through the supply side. The book notably advances the concept of a ‘soybean republic’: an economic model that highlights the geo-economic pull of transnational corporations … This book makes substantial contributions to the disciplines of agroeconomics and development. Whilst challenging, it is a rewarding read.” (Josselin Canévet, LSE Review of Books, blogs.lse.ac.uk, February, 2019)
