  • "Probably no region's economists have had greater public visibility or greater impact on regional and national public policy than Latin America's. Economists in the Americas joins a small but important comparative literature on economics as a profession and is first comparative treatment of the Americas. This edited collection is also first study to examine professional economists in United States and Latin America. No region has been more directly affected by the spread of US economics. A multidisciplinary group of scholars discusses last sixty years of shifting trends in economics in seven countries in Western Hemisphere : Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay and United States. Chapters address history of economics in Americas, role of economists in politics and policy-making, economics education and competing paradigms in the field. This collection points to interconnections among national cases, the forging and breakdown of consensus around state and market dominance, the transnational diffusion of economic ideas and professional norms, and the embrace and rejection of an increasingly Americanized professional identity among Latin American economists. Book will interest policymakers and scholars interested in the comparative history and sociology of economics, development, public policy, international affairs, political science and Latin American studies--Publisher's description."
