The Caribbean Economy: A Reader

This Reader provides as a single source document, a representative sample of much of the pioneering work in Caribbean economy. Complementing and updating earlier publications, ready access is now provided to a range of contributions to Caribbean economic literature which have sought to answer three central questions: 1. How do Caribbean Economies work? 2. What are the socio-economic impacts of how these economies function? And 3. What ought to be done to improve the workings of these economies to realize the expectations of the Caribbean? The work in The Caribbean Economy spans a wide range of ideas spawned over the last half century which ought to have been central to economic planning, policy and development in the Caribbean region.
