Rapid Economic Growth as a Destabilizing Force

  • Rapid Growth as a Destabilizing Force*

  • Mancur Olson, Jr
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    03 February 2011, pp. 529-552

  • Many writers—some of them reputable scholars, others important public officials—have implicitly assumed or explicitly argued that economic growth leads toward political stability and perhaps even to peaceful democracy. They have argued that “economic development is one of the keys to stability and peace in the world”; that it is “conditions of want and instability on which communism breeds”; and that economic progress “serves as a bulwark against international communism.” A recent and justly famous book on revolution by Hannah Arendt ascribes the most violent forms of revolutionary extremism mainly to poverty.

Issues in the Economic History of Latin America

  • Nature and Progress of Agrarian Reform in Latin America

  • Robert J. Alexander
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    03 February 2011, pp. 559-573

  • Agrarian reform has become a major subject of political discussion in Latin America. Its preeminence is due to developments within Latin America, to the late President John F. Kennedy and the Alliance for Progress which he sponsored; and to the Castro regime in Cuba. In this paper we shall discuss the background of the problem throughout the area, and then look in some detail at the four major agrarian reform efforts which have been undertaken so far: those of Mexico, Bolivia, Venezuela, and Cuba.
