Latin America is faced with the challenge of achieving the
Millennium Developmental Goal to halve poverty in the region by
2015. Historically, this region has experienced persistently high
levels of inequality and poverty, and the situation has
deteriorated considerably over the past few years. This book
analytically examines both the causes and consequences of
inequality in Latin America.
"Overcoming Inequality in Latin America" adopts a multidimensional
approach to understanding the fundamental causes of inequality in
the region, focusing on the mechanisms that lead to higher
inequality and emphasising the role of macroeconomics, trade rules,
capital flows and the political electoral process. This book
analyses how inequality has hindered development, how it interacts
with a nation's economic, social and political processes, and how
inequality constrains the above processes in ways that weakens the
prospect of establishing and sustaining a dynamic, wealthy and
creative society. Examinining the key economic policies and reforms
which have exacerbated the region's extremely high inequality
levels, this book prescribes an alternative range of policy
suggestion to help alleviate inequality and provide the foundations
for more equitable development.
An international team of specialist contributors elucidate these
crucial issues and the result is a book which will prove an
invaluable resource across a number of fields including development
economics and politics.
