"Eye-opening appraisals of the extraordinary potential of Latin American countries. Essential reading for those who have, or wish to have, commercial relations with our neighboring continent, Roberts and Araujo brilliantly combine a free market philosophical perspective with a proper appreciation of the region’s history."

"A compelling blend of substance and ideas–illuminates the ‘why’ of revolution in economies in Latin America–and elsewhere–and the need for revolution in the multilateral financial institutions. Readable and rewarding."

"Lessons from socialist failures have been learned more quickly in Latin America than in Europe or the United States. This book lays out the record of Latin American accomplishments to date, along with a precautionary assessment of near-term prospects."

"The lesson of this book is evident: Only open economies and open societies provide the adequate framework for prosperity."

"While the world’s attention has been focused on the demise of socialism and planning in Central and Eastern Europe, the quite remarkable liberalization of markets–both international and domestic–that has occurred in Latin America has gone larely unnoticed. Roberts and Araujo now bring us the story of the tortuous path that has brought capitalism and markets to Latin America."

"The Capitalist Revolution in Lain America is a carefully crafted account of how the peddlers of quack ideas created an ecnomic disaster zone and how the descendants of Turgot have begun to alter the Latin landscape. Roberts and Araujo eschew Newspeak. The result is a refreshing, ‘politically incorrect’ volume that would meet with George Orwell’s approval."
