Infos

First published in 1988, The Mexican Economy presents a comprehensive survey of the Mexican economy and its problems and argues that the crisis has more complex roots within the Mexican economy. It gives an equal weight to the long-term development of the Mexican economy and to the problems that have arisen since 1982. The contributors discuss issues like debt and oil-led development; Mexico’s 1986 financial rescue; the economic crisis and Mexican labour; the Mexican agricultural crisis; agriculture and environment; industrial decentralisation and regional policy, 1970–1986; Pemex and the petroleum sector; policies of the Mexican government towards NFRM; and Mexico’s maquiladora programme. This book will be of interest to students and researchers of economy, history, and political science.
