Reviews for Creative Destruction?: Economic Crises and Democracy in Latin America
Gonzalez persuasively argues that structural changes to democratic governments have imporved the changes that they will survive hard times. The book raises fascinating questions about the connection between financial crises and innovation, and the possibility that economic turmoil may further strengthen democracy.
