The Fundamental Disequilibrium in Latin America

This course presents an overview of the political economy of public policy and development in Latin America and presents a new theory which can help explain many of the anomalies in the existing evidence. There are no technical prerequisites for the course, except a desire to read A LOT and think deeply about Latin America in comparative perspective. Some familiarity with the history and culture of the region is desirable, but enthusiasm and commitment can compensate for that.
