Extract: The main effort of this research was directed toward assembling as long and as complete a set of data as possible for government expenditures on agriculture in nine Latin American countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela. It covers the period 1950-78 on an annual basis. An effort was made to include estimates for many kinds of expenditures, such as research and extension, irrigation, marketing, transport, health, education, administration, agrarian reform, and so forth. The purpose is to identify government expenditure policies for the agricultural sector; to measure their importance in relation to the total government budget and agricultural output; to analyze their trend and variability throughout the time period and from country to country; and to begin to study their effects on agricultural production.

Hofman, a researcher with the Chile-based Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, uses growth accounting methods and previously unavailable long-term series data to assess the economic performance of the region during the century from a comparative and historical perspective. In particular he compares Latin American economies to those of advanced capitalist economies, to newly industrialized economies, and to Spain and Portugal because of the historical ties. He looks at the reasons for the poor or negative growth during the 1980s and the apparent recovery in the 1990s and at such problems as debt, income inequality, high inflation, cyclical instability, and political and policy instability.

Have the lives of the world's poorest, neediest people improved over the past few decades? What policies have lifted some people out of the worst forms of poverty, and what conditions keep others mired within it? The Poorest and Hungry: Assessment, Analyses, and Actions answers such questions, bringing together studies of both what causes and what reduces severe poverty from a diverse group of development specialists. The book focuses on the poorest and hungry in society and identifies areas for action. Stable economic growth; targeted social programs and insurance that invest in and protect nutrition, health, and education; and political and social inclusion of previously marginalized groups emerge as the essential requirements for poverty reduction, and this book's contributors identify strategies for promoting all three. The Poorest and Hungry is an important resource for policymakers, development specialists, and others concerned with helping the world's poorest people.
