But Latin America has been a vital part of the global community since the seventeenth century, when the Spanish silver peso became the world's first global currency instrument. Today it is home to six hundred million people and some of the fastest-growing economies on the planet. Latin America may not outshine or outspend the United States on the world stage anytime soon, but its voices will be heard. Its consumers, resources, and emigrants are already affecting us; they will be even bigger factors in our future. What if Latin America Ruled the World? deftly braids together the histories of North and South America from the exploits of Hernán Cortés to the political showmanship of Hugo Chávez and Evo Morales. Scholar Oscar Guardiola-Rivera is an ideal guide for a searching portrait of the Latin America that we rarely hear about.--Publisher description. 000346994 651_0 $$aLatin America$$xEconomic conditions$$y21st century. 000346994 651_0 $$aLatin America$$xCivilization$$y21st century. 000346994 85200 $$bgen$$hHC125$$i.G775$$i2010 000346994 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1010/2010013433-b.html 000346994 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1010/2010013433-d.html 000346994 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:346994$$pGLOBAL_SET 000346994 980__ $$aBIB 000346994 980__ $$aBOOK
