[lentzr]

What do you mean by best? Do you mean largest? Do you mean largest per capita? Do you mean most evenly distributed? Please articulate your question in more detail!

[dunno what to put here]

I don't know.. Uruguay?

This is from wiki.answers.com:
The countries of Brazil, Argentina, and Venezuela have the largest economies in South America. However, Paraguay, Argentina, and Peru have the fastest growing economies in South America. The 3 best economies would most likely be Argentina, Brazil, and Peru in that order (Peru has the 6th largest economy in South America).[LEFT]

Right now I would say Chile, Uruguay, and Panama, however most Latin American countries from Colombia, to Peru, and Brazil are really booming as well.

Colombia is doing very well. But the best is prob. Brazil

[ialeixo]

Depends on your criteria, but Brazil is the 6th or 7th biggest economy in the world, ahead of any other latin american country, so..........

I would think Chile and Urguay. Biggest does not always mean best.

I say chile and brazil. Chile has a developed and pretty prosperous economy, whereas Brazil's is huge and booming! Uruguay is a nice country, but it's economy is pretty small and not very diversified (mainly agriculture).

Brazil has the most diversified economy in Latin America.

It has the most diversified services sector and the most diversified manufacturing sector.

Brazil's manufacturing sector produces a wide range of goods, both for domestic consumption and for exports.
