Description: "Important study of business elites and their attitudes toward democratization in 1980s is based heavily on personal interviews with leading industrialists. Finds that many of the incentives that led these actors to support the coup of 1964 have changed or disappeared. Offers a worthwhile glimpse into the thinking of these elites"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
