    Factors Underlying the 1982 Crisis

    by Robert Looney ...
    Series series Duke Press policy studies
    This volume argues that the Mexican crisis of August 1982, in which the country was left facing the prospect of national default and zero economic growth, was not only the result of some fundamental flaws in the country's economy, but is more accurately characterized as a cash flow problem—in the author's words, "a case of illiquidity rather than insolvency."
