Table of ContentsReviewsAn enduring puzzle for Latin Americanists is how freemarket, neoliberal economic reform was possible. . . . In this excellent new book, Peter Kingstone addresses the puzzle directly and effectively. He frames it as follows: After fifty years of protection and nurturing by the state, observers of Brazilian political economy would have expected Brazilian industrialists to actively oppose the reform process (p. 1). In the end, however, Kingstone documents that business was much more flexible when facing reform, and under certain circumstances it was quite willing to endorse and support economic reform.
