Reviews

[The] analysis is from the perspective of new institutional economics, as the book straddles the fault lines between, on the one hand, political developments in Brazil, Colombia, and the United States and, on the other, interest groups in those countries... Bates's approach is therefore innovative... The book is beautifully produced, full of useful data... It will provoke lively debate. -- Robert G. Greenhill, Economic History Review A no-nonsense academic study of the politics of coffee ... -- Charles Corn, Los Angeles Times Book Review
