Description
Ryan focuses on four broad issue areas -- the organization and role of the state sector, price policy, relations with the bourgeoisie, and agrarian reform. The interactions between these issue areas, and between the technical and political contradictions they reveal, demonstrate the complexity of choices faced by the Sandinista leadership. The Fall and Rise of the Market in Sandinista Nicaragua will engage those with an interest in not only Latin American and development studies but also socialist politics.
Reviews / Votes
"The Fall and Rise of the Market in Sandinista Nicaragua is a splendid examination of how the FSLN mounted its assault on the market that is both well executed and extremely valuable. Ryan offers insights into the role of ideas and ideology in political economy as well as tracing the practice of a revolutionary state." David Close, Department of Political Science, Memorial University.More details
