Peruvian economic trends since 1960 are analysed in R. Thorp and G. Bertram, Peru, 1890–1977: Growth and Policy in an Open Economy (London, 1978) E. V. K. Fitzgerald, The Political Economy of Peru, 1965–1978: Economic Development and the Restructuring of Capital (Cambridge, Eng., 1979); and Oscar Dancourt, Sobre las políticas macro-económicas en el Perú, 1970–1984 (Lima, 1986). A critical bibliographical review of economic writings can be found in Teobaldo Pinzas, La economía peruana, 1950–1978: Un ensayo bibliográfico (Lima, 1981).

The economic problems of Belaúnde’s first government (1963–8) are analysed in P. P. Kuczynski, Peruvian Democracy under Economic Stress: An Account of the Belaúnde Administration, 1963–1968 (Princeton, N. J., 1977). On the distribution of income, see R. Webb, Government Policy and the Distribution of Income in Peru, 1963–1973 (Cambridge, Mass., 1977), and Shane Hunt, ‘Distribution, growth and government: Economic behavior in Peru’, in Gustave Rainis (ed.), Government and Economic Development (New Haven, Conn., 1971), 375–416.

Vega Centeno, Crecimiento, industrialización y cambio técnico en el Perú, 1955–1980 (Lima, 1983); and J. Torres, Estructura económica de la industria en el Perú (Lima, 1975).
