"This innovative new book seeks to contribute simultaneously to two different disciplinary fields: comparative political economy and Mexican history. It does so by attempting to explain why Mexico - contrary to the predictions of several dominant theories of economic growth - enjoyed a comparatively high rate of economic growth and development under the highly authoritarian dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz (1876-1911). By conducting a detailed political analysis of Diaz's rule, Armando Razo introduces network analysis to the study of institutions and growth and shows how dictators can maintain their power with credible growth-enhancing policies." --Book Jacket.
