Publisher's Synopsis
While the Caribbean Basin's political difficulties are spotlighted in the nightly news, the underlying economic problems of the region tend to be ignored. The Economics of the Caribbean Basin is one of the few scholarly works to seriously examine the economic problems of the region. This volume contains a unique mix of theory, practice, and case studies of the economic practitioners from the Caribbean Basin. It brings together scholars and practitioners from the Caribbean Basin, Latin America, North America, and Europe who apply the tools of economic analysis to trade and monetary problems of the Caribbean Basin.
