Latin America and its Era of Discontent?

Latin America and its Era of Discontent? Can Latin America rise out of an era of discontent where public protests have challenged the directions of leftist and conservative governments? The region has the human and natural resources to help diversify global supply chains, build clean energy economies and create sustainable jobs. Yet across the hemisphere, public protests have disrupted political and economic life. What is driving the discontent? Will it doom the region to populist politics? How can governments and investors resuscitate opportunities for stability and prosperity?
