Description

In a world that may be toying with neo-fascist tendencies, Latin The united states’s painful experience with fascist military governments and North American corporate capitalism must be a red flag.

From 1954 to 2005, Latin The united states underwent social, economic, and environmental upheaval brought about by neoliberalism’s preference for North American corporate keep an eye on of Latin American sovereignty. Latin American dictatorships spelled out stable platforms for North American corporations by deregulation and privatization of public wealth. They also increased corporate profits. This book presents nine different articles at the fires of adversity that the Latin American public endured by the hands of North American corporations: the military coups the corporates scripted, the death squads that Operation Condor sanctioned, and the massive pollution of the Amazon by North American extraction of oil and minerals. These corporations bought political influence and decision-making.

The unfettered growth of corporate interests worked counter to the interests and well-being of the Latin American public. By 2005, the Latin American nations soundly rejected the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas (FTAA).
