Una suposición común de los escritores y los planificadores de políticas es el desarrollo social y económico de América Latina está en armonía con el interés predominante de los Estado Unidos. Ninguno de los artículos de este volumen se basa en ese supuesto. La mayor parte de América Latina tiene economías neo coloniales, dependientes y controladas por intereses extranjeros, en particular los de las corporaciones estadounidenses.
