The result of ten years of work, this is the 56th book published by Carmelo Mesa-Lago, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Economics and Latin America at the University of Pittsburgh and Professor and Research Scholar at Florida International University.

His book has been praised by top world economists as: "wonderfully discerning" (Albert O. Hirschman, Princeton), "one of the best comparative studies" (Jan Svejnar, University of Michigan), "a pioneering study" (Frederic Pryor, Swarthmore College), and "brilliant" (Roger Betancourt, University of Maryland). .

The book selects three models of development in Latin America (Chile, Cuba and Costa Rica), analyzes their policies over a period of 24 to 35 years, and evaluates and ranks their performance.
