This book examines the role of tax policy in the incidence of
socio-economic inequality. With a focus on Latin American, the
author demonstrates that while inequality has decreased remarkably
in the last decade - during the very period in which inequality was
increasing almost everywhere else in the world - this reduction
cannot be attributed to a better use of tax policy. Offering both
quantitative and qualitative reviews of tax policies pursued by
Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru over the last two
decades, Reducing Inequality in Latin America contends that these
countries continue to make insufficient use taxation measures in
combating startlingly high levels of inequality. Drawing on legal
texts, interviews with researchers and experts in the field, and
official monetary statistics to obtain a complete picture of how
discretionary tax policy has been pursued in the region, this
volume engages with a range of recent economic theories to argue
for the importance of using the tax system to reduce inequalities,
whilst also offering new methods for measuring tax policy in
subsequent research. As such, it will appeal both to scholars of
social science and policy makers with interests in economics,
social inequality, public policy and international political
economy.
