What is neoliberalism? What were its results in Latin America in the 1980s?

What will be an ideal response?


The neoliberal model was imposed upon Latin American nations by powerful foreign interests, most notably the United States. The neoliberal model encourages privatization, free trade, reduced government spending and direct foreign investment. The model discourages national industries and protective tariffs. The result of neoliberalism is that Latin American governments could often not provide adequate social and medical services for its people and thus were extremely unpopular with the majority of voters.
