More Than Latin America Needs the U.S. and Canada

A conversation with the Financial Times’ Hal Weitzman

 

In Latin Lessons, Weitzman, the Financial Times’ Andean bureau chief from 2004-2007, analyzes South America’s shift away from Western-dominated patterns of globalization and toward

 resource nationalism

and global partnerships with emerging nations such as China and India. He also explores how these policy shifts, particularly increased social spending, could serve as lessons for other countries.
