What If Latin America Ruled the World? by Oscar Guardiola-Rivera
For most Europeans and Americans, Latin America is little more than their underdeveloped sibling. This title shows how, unafraid to turn its back on some commonly held economic views that have lost their currency, Latin America is in fact making its presence felt from Lima to Shanghai, from Brazilia to London and from Buenos Aires to New York.
