Latin America Economy (Part I)
Whilst i am working on a summary for the overview to Latin America, from post-independence to 1930s, here's the economic part of 1910s - 30s, covering both world wars and Great Depression.
It should be noted, though, the Great Depression in LAC is a social-political affair more than an economic affair. This will change when we come to 1970s - 1980s, when Bureaucratic-Authoritarian(BA) regimes are founded more on economic issues, with political coming a close second.
In case you are confused, this is an economic powerpoint, so the next economic powerpoint is about Chicago boy. But topic-wise, we are going into the political side of Great depression.
For now, here's the economic sides of Great Depression. The political side of Great Depression will come next.

Once the tutorial is done, don't leave the blog---I will try my hardest to regularly link news pieces and provide a commentary on them. You are more than welcomed to discuss it!!
Now, the below powerpoint will tell you, what precisely are the topics, and the approaches.
