ABSTRACT

This book explores whether the Sandinista 'mixed economy'—a 'transitional' mixed economy—could have been stable if the Sandinistas had been able to pursue their industrialization strategy for a longer period of time. It explains why Nicaragua's mixed economy was stable for almost eleven years.
