Two decades of neo-liberalism have left Latin America as an economic basket-case. Green (a policy analyst for CAFOD, the Catholic aid agency for England and Wales) here revises and updates his ten-year- old critical examination of the rise of the neo-liberal system. In addition to describing the developments that led to the imposition of "free-market" policies across the Americas (the "Silent Revolution" of the title), he looks at the dire impact of such policies and the activities of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund on Latin America's poor. He also briefly describes alternative economic regimes. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
