Restoring growth in Puerto Rico’s economy
In 1930, the Brookings Institution, a Washington D.C.-based think tank, published a report entitled “Porto Rico and Its Problems.” This report, prompted by various groups of Puerto Rican private citizens, was a thorough examination of the island’s social and economic landscape, covering, among other topics, education, public debt, public health, agriculture, trade and the state public works. It included a long list of recommendations, many of which were eventually implemented by the Puerto Rican government.
