Synopsis

There has been a conspicuous switch in the way economists and policy makers think about the roles of market incentives and state policies. In recent times the key notions seem to be pro-market policies, privatization, deregulation and curbing the size of the government. This volume examines the implications of greated reliance on market forces and the potential of new combinations of private and public inducements to foster economic progress. The papers address a number of key questions, exploring new angles on concurrent interpretations and assessing experiences of individual countries. The chapters in the volume are organized in three thematic groups: institutional and historical issues, privatization and its consequences, and the remodelling of economic policies in Latin America.
