经济学家艾尔伯特·赫希曼（Albert O. Hirschman）也许是过去半个世纪中对拉丁美洲政治观察最深刻的外部人士，他对被他称为“急于求成 ” （ la rage de vouloir conclure，福楼拜语，即某些拉丁美洲领导人热衷于立刻让所有事情都有个结果）持批评态度。
The economist Albert O. Hirschman, arguably the most insightful outside observer of Latin American politics in the last half-century, was critical of what he called – borrowing from Flaubert – la rage de vouloir conclure, or the obsession of some Latin American leaders to try to bring everything to an immediate conclusion.
