Sorting Out the Mixed Economy - (Histories of Economic Life) by Amy C Offner

The book "Sorting Out the Mixed Economy" by Amy Offner is a groundbreaking work that uncovers the hidden history of how U.S.

development programs in Latin America shaped the modern neoliberal era.

This book provides a fresh perspective on the origins of neoliberalism, challenging traditional narratives and offering a new account of mid-century statebuilding. Offner's work delves into the entanglement of American societies and the contradictory promises of mid-century statebuilding in Colombia, revealing how U.S.

advisors decentralized the state, privatized public functions, and launched austere social welfare programs.

By examining these policies' unintended consequences, Offner sheds light on the link between development projects from 50 years ago and contemporary privatization across the Americas. This book is essential reading for historians of development and public policy in the twentieth-century Americas, particularly those interested in land reform, social welfare programs, and the intersection of U.S.

and Latin American politics.

With its extensive research and sophisticated analysis, "Sorting Out the Mixed Economy" breaks through conventional origin stories of neoliberalism and offers a compelling account of how the road from the New Deal to the Great Society ran through Latin America. Don't miss out on this opportunity to uncover the hidden history of neoliberalism and its roots in U.S.-Latin American relations.
