The limits of stabilization infrastructure, public deficits, and growth in Latin America - Washington, D.C World Bank 2003 - xv, 209 p. : ill. ; 23 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Latin America's macroeconomic crises of the 1980s and '90s forced a severe fiscal adjustment across the region. More often than not, fiscal stability was achieved at the cost of a drastic compression of public infrastructure spending, accompanied by the hope that the private sector would take the leading role in infrastructure provision.
