Abstract
It has been too easy for Europeans to dismiss Latin America as being a collection of underprivileged third world states. It is true that debt continues to be a pressing problem for almost all of Latin America’s economies, but in 1988 Brazil and Mexico seem to be regaining the confidence of the world’s financial centres. Argentina’s recent re-entry into democracy is a further cause for optimism and in Chile (ignored in Sobela) there is growing hope of a democratic conclusion to Pinochet’s regime.
