Confronting Development: Assessing Mexico's Economic and Social Policy Challenges

Middlebrook (politics, Institute of Latin American Studies, U. of London, UK) and Zepeda (economics, U. Autónoma Metropolitana-Azcapotzalco, Mexico) present 17 papers that critically assess Mexico's development policies in the areas of economic policy and finance; trade, export-led growth, and industrial policy; social policy and rural development; and inequality, underemployment, wage problems, and poverty. Final essays present historical and comparative perspectives on development. The essays are often critical of the neoliberal orthodoxy of the "Washington consensus."
