The Market and the Masses in Latin America: Policy Reform and Consumption in Liberalizing Economies - Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics
Baker, Andy (University of Colorado, Boulder)
Baker's study reveals that most Latin American citizens are enthusiastic about globalization because it has lowered the prices of many consumer goods and services. This sharp awareness informs Baker's argument that a political economy of consumption has replaced a previously dominant politics of labor and class in Latin America.
