Summary: "This book has three goals. First, the book's contributors try to explain a crisis that preoccupies Latin America but is perceived only dimly in the United States. Second, we assess the costs of the current strategies for dealing with the debt crisis. Finally, the authors offer numerous proposals for addressing debt as a development problem for Latin America and the United States, not just a financial problem for bankers and finance ministers." -- From preface
