Can Latin America compete? Many argue that the macroeconomic and trade reforms of the 1990s merely put a handsome coat of paint over education, labour, judicial, and administrative reforms that remain incomplete. This book identifies ten factors that most influence the competitiveness of Latin American nations and will shape their economic futures.
NEW MATERIAL: The book offers an in-depth examination of the various facets of competitiveness in Latin America and the implications for global business leaders
