O NE of the greatest apparent anomalies in Latin America's history is the influence that liberalism enjoyed between independence and the Great Depression. Historians have generally believed the ideology to be chimerical, characterizing it as ideas borrowed from their European context and slavishly applied to countries with very different historical traditions, cultural heritages, economies, and social systems. Most studies have focused on liberalism's political content, emphasizing the struggle for constitutional representative government, universal civil rights, and the separation of Church and state. They conclude that the ideas, while noble, were illsuited to Latin America's traditional, hierarchical social structure and thus probably destined to failure.' Few historians, however, have examined liberalism's economic performance in the light of this controversy. Some social scientists have argued that in its economic manifestation Latin American liberalism developed in response to the special needs of the New World and lent itself admirably to export-oriented countries.2
