This book appeals to history and political science buffs who like dense detail in their economic analyses. It does explain the decades of bone-headed policies that led to Mexico's spectacular economic collapse in the 1980s, requiring a new currency. There's a valuable explanation of land title reform and how this is slowly leading to more mortgage lending by banks. The bibliography is lengthy and covers sources in both English and Spanish.
