Having read a bit about the US involvement in regime change over the years, primarily deposing left wing political leaders, I've seen it mentioned how a lot of the time the countries seemed to be worse off after US involvement. (Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong here or provide example to the contrary, I am keen to learn more)
I realise in some cases there wasn't enough time for significant economic change to happen but I was wondering how these coups affected GDP, currency value and imports and exports and whether there were any times where a positive economic change could justify the other negative effects, or whether it just served to maintain the status quo with the money going back to US corporations and banks.
Thanks in advance!
I am really interested in this question. I have a very biased opinion on this and I would love to see it answered by someone with an objective opinion and data to support it. Have you thought of asking again?
