The Process of Economic Development

This is a comprehensive and detailed account of the economic history of Puerto Rico from the period of Spanish colonial domination to the present. Interweaving findings of the "new" Puerto Rican historiography with those of earlier historical studies, and using the most recent theoretical concepts to interpret them, James Dietz examines the complex manner in which productive and class relations within Puerto Rico have interacted with changes in its place in the world economy.
 Besides including aggregate data on Puerto Rico's economy, the author offers valuable information on workers' living conditions and women workers, plus new interpretations of development since Operation Bootstrap. His evaluation of the island's export-oriented economy has implications for many other developing countries.

Building on the positive features of the economic commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (CEPAL) "structuralist" approach to Latin America's severe economic problems, this book advances innovative strategies for improving long-term development prospects in the region. The authors first identify inherent failures in the CEPALista theory and then propose a revitalized scheme that focuses on removing internal barriers to change while nurturing the mechanisms and institutions that can strengthen indigenous technological progress. They emphasize throughout the importance of development strategies that will invest Latin Americans with the capacity to adopt, and adapt to, rapid technological progress.
