How Can Latin America and the Caribbean Avoid the Next Financial Crisis?

By Eric Parrado Herrera, Eduardo Cavallo, and Juan Hernández The crash on the New York stock exchange in 1929 brought depression to the world. That is probably why when the global financial crisis broke in 2008, some observers thought the contagion originating in New York would again spread south, causing  a collapse in Latin America and the Caribbean.
