Enter Economism, Exit Politics: Experts, Economic Policy and the Political

by Teivo Teivainen

Teivo Teivainen explores the redefinition of the boundaries of the economic and the political spheres. In examining how and to what extent it is taking place, he takes the case of the periodic Latin American debt crisis in the 20th Century, and more specifically, the illuminating example of Peru, particularly the failed attempt by President García to resist this new economism and the subsequent volte-face by his successor, President Fujimori.
