Libro de ingles pdf descarga gratis Latin Lessons: How South America Stopped Listening to the United States and Started Prospering

Descripción

"Trenchantly expressed, furiously paced, masterfully informed, and utterly persuasive, Hal Weitzman's book shows how the U.S. urgently needs a new partnership with Latin America, and exposes the frustrations of recent and current failures. Everyone in the foreign policy establishment should read it." —Felipe Fernández-Armesto, author of Pathfinders: A Global History of Exploration and The Americas: A Hemispheric History "A balanced, very readable, and often insightful guide to the revolutionary changes sweeping through many parts of Latin America. He is certainly right that these trends will profoundly affect the ability of the United States to adjust to its postimperial status. We North Americans ignore them at our peril." —Jeff Faux, author of The Global Class War "A level-headed look at a critical region, as befits a former Financial Times Andean correspondent. In this engagingly written work, Hal Weitzman skillfully probes the causes and consequences of South America's shift away from its northern neighbor, drawing on meticulous research and his own extensive experience in the region. Weitzman challenges conventional conceptions of our hemispheric neighbors, and proposes a new approach for U.S. policy." —Thomas F. "Mack" McLarty III, former White House chief of staff and Special Envoy for the Americas for President Bill Clinton
