About this book

The essays in this collection assess Roberto Frenkel's work, discussing Latin American neo-structuralism's theoretical contributions and viability as the world's economies evolve. For those seeking a comprehensive introduction to contemporary Latin American economic thought, this collection not only explicates the intricate work of one of its greatest practitioners, but demonstrates its impact on the growth of economics.
Latin American neo-structuralism is a cutting-edge, regionally focused economic theory with broad implications for macroeconomics and development economics.

Reviews

Axel Leijonhufvud, professor emeritus of economics, University of California, Los Angeles:
A collection of interesting and impressive papers on the areas in which Roberto Frenkel has worked: inflation, stabilization, crises, and macroeconomic policy for development. One hopes for a wide readership.

Jomo Kwame Sundaram, former United Nations Assistant Secretary General for Economic Development:
This accessible, varied, and rich collection reflects a broad spectrum of monetary challenges in Latin America, including the developmental consequences of the exchange rate, inflation, financial, and balance of payments crises. The volume will be a major reference for Latin American economies and macroeconomic development challenges and is a fitting acknowledgment of Roberto Frenkel, one of the world's 'master' development macroeconomists.

Jorge Katz, University of Chile:
This rich collection of papers is a well-deserved recognition of Frenkel's pathbreaking contributions to our understanding of the Latin American and world's institutional and economic environment, and also provides adequate background teaching material for both graduate and undergraduate courses in economics.
