In the revolutionary decade between 1979 and 1992, it would have been difficult to find three political systems as different as death-squad-dominated El Salvador, peaceful social-democraticCosta Rica, and revolutionary Sandinista Nicaragua. Yet when the fighting ended, all three had found a common destination in democracy and free markets. In a landmark book that fuses political economy and cultural analysis, Jeffery Paige shows that both the divergent political histories and their convergent outcome were shaped by a single commodity: coffee. His analysis challenges current theories of dictatorship and democracy, and shows that revolution in Central America is deeply rooted in the histories of the coffee elites.El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Sandinista Nicaragua had three very different political systems. However, when a peace plan was agreed, all three found a common destination in democracy and free markets shaped by a single commodity - coffee. The aim of this book is to explain this turn of events.
