In 'Fabricantes de Miseria' (Manufacturers of Misery), Plinio Apuleyo Mendoza, Carlos Alberto Montaner, and Álvaro Vargas Llosa analyze the ideas and attitudes that perpetuate poverty in Latin America and some regions of Europe. The book examines how governments, religious institutions, unions, and intellectuals contribute to keeping large populations in misery through antieconomic practices, harmful discourses, and the promotion of policies that hinder the creation of wealth and employment. The authors seek to unmask those who, whether out of interest or good faith, perpetuate poverty, with the hope of promoting a change towards more effective and fair policies.
Carlos Alberto Montaner Suris was an exiled Cuban author and journalist known for his criticism of Fidel Castro and the Cuban government. He was published widely in Latin American newspapers, and produced fiction and non-fiction books about Latin America. Montaner was a political analyst for CNN en Español.
