Library Journal Review

Why haven't Latin American countries developed strong economies or made substantial contributions in the fields of science and technology? Why have societies like Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore, which in the 1950s were poorer and less developed than Latin America, overcome underdevelopment while Latin America has not? Can Latin Americans make the leap and join the ranks of developed nations? These are some of the questions pondered by Montaner, coauthor of the best-selling El manual del perfecto idiota latinoamericano (En Español, LJ 1/97). This book can be regarded as a sequel and is just as interesting and thought-provoking. Recommended for public libraries.‘Jorge Gonzalez (c) Copyright 2010.
