How can the perennial problem of inflation in Latin America be cured? Eduardo Belgrano, a Mexican economist, argues that Latin American governments have always found it difficult to match spending with revenue and have found it easy to resort to the inflation tax. Conventional currency reforms have regularly failed to work and the solution is to adapt Hayek's proposal for competition in currencies.

Latin@ voters, and Latinas specifically, played a decisive role in the 2008 and 2012 U.S. national elections and are once again poised to significantly impact the outcome of the 2016 election cycle. However, unlike the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections, 2016 is shaping up to be an election of extremes, and Latin@s have already become deeply embedded into the campaign strategies and political discourses of both major political parties, albeit in very different ways.

It took some gentle prodding from professors Cynthia McClintock and
John Harbeson, conveners of this session, to persuade me to
participate. The reason for my reluctance may be obvious,
considering the composition of this panel. My distinguished
colleagues can speak about "them" when referring to the
contributions of scholars from the regions on which they specialize.
This, I gather, allows them some degree of objectivity when
summarizing and assessing the works of their colleagues in the
respective regions; instead, when I analyze the contributions of
Latin Americans, I analyze "us."

This essay recreates the exciting Latin music and dance scenes of post–World War II Southern California, showing how Mexican Americans produced and consumed a range of styles and, in the process, articulated their complex cultural sensibilities. By participating in a Spanish-language expressive culture that was sophisticated and cosmopolitan, musicians, singers, disc jockeys, impresarios, fans, and dancers rejected an Anglo-imposed cultural identity as racialized labor commodities, flirting instead with an appealing latinidad, or Latinness. Drawing on a deep tradition of cultural and musical mestizaje, they took a "holiday" or vacation from their assigned place in the social structure and in the city, merging ethnic Mexican pride with urban elegance to create their own social space during an age of Anglo cultural conformity.
