Product Description

This is an unusually clear and articulate defense of a development model Latin America based on the free market. It convincingly shows that anyone taking seriously the so-called option for the poor must go in this direction. The author's firm religious commitment adds to the value of the book. -- Peter L. Berger, Boston University After the collapse of the socialist model . . . the poor of the world look expectantly for a sounder path to a better future. Amy Sherman is one of the bright young thinkers of the new generation who are propounding a new strategy, both profoundly Christian and empirically based on models that have actually worked quite rapidly to improve the condition of the poor. Her vision is remarkably ecumenical and takes into account very different international settings. -- Michael Novak, American Enterprise Institute At a time when political and economic foundations are shaking throughout much of the world, the clear argument of this book needs to be considered very carefully. . . . In constructing her own proposals for Christian development efforts in Latin America, Amy Sherman presents a remarkably comprehensive argument that is at once both cautious and optimistic, both realistic and forward looking. -- James W. Skillen, Association for Public Justice A stimulating study that harness the best insights of development thinking and delineates the case for a market-friendly strategy for holistic development in Latin America. This book puts forth a clarion call for all Christians to act. --Ted Yamamori, Food for the Hungry International
