Underdevelopment is a State of Mind: The Latin American CaseThus, Costa Rica, settled by pioneering farmers, has been more successful economically than Nicaragua, settled by conquistadors in search of gold and slaves, despite having fewer natural resources.

Political instability and a failure to maintain durable and progressive institutions have paralyzed Argentina's growth. |
