?The two introductory chapters of this work deal with Latin America in general, followed by chapters on Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Central America, Peru, Chile, Brazil, Ecuador, and Cuba. With the exception of Peru and Cuba, all countries examined were characterized by IMF-type policies of economic liberalism during the 1980s. In general, the results of these policies have been to stimulate the growth of exportable crops rather than those to serve the food and raw material needs of their nations' consumers and industries; and, they have tended to stimulate grazing over crop growing, and within the latter, have encouraged the cultivation of crops providing food for cattle rather than for humans. The worst case examined is that of Mexico, which many regard as the great success of IMF-type policies; contributor Jose Luis Calva presents extensive data on how those policies have not only undermined domestic production of the staples of the average Mexican's diet, but also resulted in drastic increases in malnutrition and diseases associated with it. This work will interest Latin Americanists and those interested in economic development and agricultural economics. Upper-division undergraduate and graduate collections.?-Choice
