The political economy of U.S. Intervention in el Salvador∗

This paper is based largely on research done for a series of articles that appeared in the March 31, June 9, and August 25, 1982 issues of the Guardian. An earlier draft was presented at the Union for Radical Political Economics Summer Conference in August, 1982. Many of the ideas in this paper came from discussions with Fay Hansen, with whom I co‐authored the Guardian articles. I would like to thank Fay Hansen and also Philip Wheaton, Peter Bynum. Tim Luke and Kathleen Cravero for their helpful criticisms, suggestions and encouragement.
