This essay is about another duet: between the peasantry and the socialist revolutionaries of Nicaragua&#8217;s Sandinista Front for National Liberation (FSLN). The duet was, unfortunately, much less harmonious than those created by Beethoven. After losing power in 1990, many Sandinista leaders concluded that relations with the peasantry had been one of the great failures of the revolutionary process&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/philryan\/writing-on-nicaragua\/peace-and-recovery-new-president-must-live-up-to-high-expectations\/\">Peace and recovery: New president must live up to high expectations<\/a>. <em>Ottawa Citizen<\/em>, April 25, 1990.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bq\">An op-ed piece written after the Sandinistas lost the 1990 elections.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;<em>Teor\u00eda y Pol\u00edtica de Precios en Nicaragua<\/em>.&#8221; Working paper of the <em>Departamento de Econom\u00eda Agr\u00edcola, Universidad Nacional Aut\u00f3noma de Nicaragua<\/em>, Managua, 1987.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"bq\">This article showed how the government&#8217;s price policies were contributing to high inflation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Nicaragua&#8217;s Economy: The Dilemmas of a Revolution at War,&#8221; <em>Canadian Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Studies<\/em> 11, no. 22, 1986, pp. 37-58.<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Review of <em>Hungry Dreams: The Failure of Food Policy in Revolutionary Nicaragua 1979-1990<\/em>, by Brizio N.
