Descriere
Dramatic political, economic, and sociocultural changes are taking place in Latin America, opening up promising possibilities for improving the lives of the poor in that region. This book assesses current trends and argues that a market-friendly development model is the most legitimate, desirable, and feasible strategy for attaining a Biblically informed conception of "holistic" development.
