Abstract
The economies of Latin America and the Caribbean suffer from a chronic low-growth disease. Unfortunately, the region has become so accustomed to this economic ailment, that it no longer considers growth its most pressing problem. And yet, the countries of the region are paying dearly for not assigning economic growth the highest priority.
Productivity isn’t everything, but in the long run it is almost everything.
Paul Krugman
