Historical Statistics of Chile, Volume IV: Money, Prices and Credit Services

Review
[Mamalakis] provides a treasure house of numbers to illuminate the debate over the current economic calamity in Chile, while also contributing to the longstanding historical controversy over inflation and stabilization. That is a formidable achievement.... This effort merits high praise for its exhaustive and systematic collection of financial statistics. It also deserves accolades for its sophisticated treatment of sources, terminology, laws, and institutions. Mamalakis takes a methodologically sound approach.... Moreover, he tries to advance the art by suggesting some improvements in national accounting and data collection. ... Both as a research tool and as an economic analysis, therefore, this book is immensely welcome. It constitutes an essential acquisition for all major libraries and a model for scholars of other countries. Future researchers will be grateful to Mamalakis for this and the other invaluable volumes published to date.... The profession, like Chile, is in debt.Hispanic American Historical Review
