Dangerous Waters: A Whirlwind of the Philippine Economy Since Independence

by Chris Pforr

Understanding the dynamics of American intervention is key to comprehending how the Philippine economy arrived at its present combination of rapid growth, Service to foreign capital, wealth generation for a few, and persistent poverty for the majority of Filipinos.

Dangerous Waters is a tour de force of high scholarship aimed to generate among its readers — both academic and non-academic — an unconventional way of looking at history. Traditional histories privileging class interests and class personalities are a thing of the past. History entwined with the complex measure of the mechanics and dynamics of a nation’s economic topography is history at its best.
