Domestic and Foreign Finance in Modern Peru, 1850-1950: Financing Visions of Development (Pitt Latin American Series)

A historical approach to understanding the financial problems of a chronically indebted Latin American country, focusing on the relative contributions of private, public, and foreign finance to economic development. Quiroz (history, City U. of New York) concludes that private finance has generally helped expansion, and that the economy usually goes bad when public and international financial systems start scheming together.
