«La agonía de América» is the historical essay by Carlos Alberto Montaner, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
Montaner explores why Latin America, despite its centuries-old universities and cities predating many US urban centers, fails to prosper or consolidate stable democracies. The region oscillates between chaos and authoritarianism while broad popular sectors remain in poverty, and the author analyzes the causes of that failure.
Originally published in 1989, it belongs to the Tribuna collection of Plaza & Janés and falls within the History category.
For readers interested in history, sociology, and politics of Latin America, with a nonfiction approach.
