The End of Business as Usual
Inequality and Recession in Britain and the USA
For two of the richest English-speaking countries, Britain and the United States, growing income inequality has been a persistent feature of the past thirty years, leading some economists to question the cosy assumption that as economic development proceeds, intra-country inequality must ultimately fall. Various hypotheses have been advanced to explain this phenomenon, the best known being that the technological revolution has driven a wedge betw…

Vietnam: Assessing the achievements of Doi Moi
Following a decade of reform and the 1988–89 stabilisation programme, Vietnam appears well‐positioned to become a new East Asian ‘dragon’. Below, the main macroeconomic dimensions of the reform process are examined. In particular, improved terms of trade for food agriculture is seen as a key determinant of stabilisation; more generally, it is argued that the authorities have rightly given broad priority to macro‐stability over micro‐efficiency. W…

New Perspectives for Modernization in Central America
Ostensibly, the Central American Left has been defeated both politically, in the Nicaraguan elections, and economically, with the triumph of orthodox economic adjustment policy. In reality, the end of the Cold War promises to alter the economic and political climate in a way that will encourage the region's long-delayed modernization. Although the political arena remains turbulent, moderate forces are emerging which Washington will find easier to…

Eclac and the Political Economy of the Central American Common Market
The Central American Common Market (CACM) was once described as "the most successful example of economic integration in the Third World." Today the CACM is nearly defunct, a victim of the smoldering crisis that erupted in Central America in 1979 following the second oil shock and the Nicaraguan Revolution. Various arguments may be found in the literature on the economics of the region that purport to explain this collapse

Revolution and Democracy in Nicaragua
On November 4, 1984, Nicaragua went to the polls to elect a new president, vice president, and national assembly. The general elections in Nicaragua have attracted considerable international response ranging from the predictable scepticism of the Reagan administration to cautious optimism on the part of most European and Latin American leaders and support from the socialist international. All see elections as the touchstone of democratic progress…
