A stark and thoughtful discussion

Duncan Green is the director of research at the Just Pensions Project and an expert on socially responsible investment. In Silent Revolution: The Rise And Crisis Of Market Economics In Latin America (now in an updated and expanded second edition), Duncan Green offers the reader a hard look at the economic reforms which are wrenching the Latin American market today. Silent Revolution is a clarion wake-up call against unchecked dangers of neoliberalism run wild, the environmental costs of adjusting to change, the IMF and World Bank as "poverty brokers", and so much more. A stark and thoughtful discussion of potentially global importance, Silent Revolution ought to be mandatory reading for students of economics, governmental and corporate policy makers, and the non-specialist general reader with an interest in contemporary Latin American issues.
