  South America’s Economy delves into the dramatic rises, falls, and reinventions of four major economies: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela. This 4-in-1 collection offers a sweeping view of a continent shaped by political upheaval, resource wealth, policy experiments, and the constant push-pull between growth and crisis. From hyperinflation to privatization, oil booms to currency collapses, this volume captures the complexity and volatility of the region’s economic story. 
  Argentina’s economic crises highlight the consequences of policy missteps and external shocks, revealing how a once-thriving nation became a case study in recurring collapse. Brazil’s economic evolution shows a journey through industrialization, reform, and global integration, alongside persistent inequality and corruption. Colombia’s transformation tells a story of resilience—rising from the shadows of conflict to emerge as a growing economy with expanding global ties. Finally, Venezuela presents perhaps the most extreme example of economic meltdown in recent memory, offering crucial lessons about dependency, mismanagement, and populism. 
  Whether you’re a student, global observer, or simply curious about South America’s economic puzzle, this book provides both historical depth and modern relevance to help you understand the region's shifting fortunes.

  A Set of Six

  Each of the stories in this collection is spun from a simple, if typically wry and bleak, idea. In "Gaspar Ruiz", a South American general who has fought in a war of independence tells his guests a long tale about a notorious strong man that explains the origin of his current domestic arrangements. "The Informer" leads the reader into the depths of a political conspiracy, dealing very slyly indeed with questions of truth and pretence. In "The Brute", we are asked whether we can believe there could be such a thing as a positively malevolent ship, while "An Anarchist" introduces us to an unfortunate man who has had a vision of society itself as malevolent and has not been able to rest in peace ever since. "The Duel", the most obviously likeable tale in this collection, recounts the history of an unfortunate feud between two officers of Napoleon's army that caused them to fight a series of duels over many years. "Il Conde" rounds out the collection, giving a new twist to the saying "See Naples and die".
