Books by Marc Edelman

This title tells the story of how small farmers responded to a free-market onslaught that devastated one of the Western Hemisphere's most advanced social-democratic welfare states.

This book studies the changing social relations in a region of Costa Rica that does not conform to the country's image as an "agrarian democracy" and investigates why latifundios (large unproductive or under-utilized estates) still dominate much of Latin America.
