Political Economy of Emerging Markets

This text takes a cross-disciplinary look at the financial markets of emerging markets in Latin America. The author disassembles the black box that is the financial market by examining the motivations and interests of the various actors, both institutional and individual. How do these interact with each other? How does this information help us understand the Mexican crisis in the 1990s and the current crisis in Argentina? The author has conducted extensive interviews with brokers, asset managers, economists, strategists, and analysts in the US, UK, Europe and Latin America, providing significant material for this study .
