brings together a range of ideas and theories to arrive at a deeper
understanding of inequality in Latin America and its complex
realities. To so, it addresses questions such as: What are the
origins of inequality in Latin America? How can we create societies
that are more equal in terms of income distribution, gender
equality and opportunities? How can we remedy the social divide
that is making Latin America one of the most unequal regions on
earth? What are the roles played by market forces, institutions and
ideology in terms of inequality? In this book, a group of global
experts gathered by the Institute for the Integration of Latin
America and the Caribbean (INTAL), part of the Inter-American
Development Bank (IDB), show readers how various types of
inequality, such as economical, educational, racial and gender
inequality have been practiced in countries like Brazil, Bolivia,
Chile, Mexico and many others through the centuries. Presenting new
ideas, new evidence, and new methods, the book subsequently
analyzes how to move forward with second-generation reforms that
lay the foundations for more egalitarian societies. As such, it
offers a valuable and insightful guide for development economists,
historians and Latin American specialists alike, as well as
students, educators, policymakers and all citizens with an interest
in development, inequality and the Latin American region.
Latin America is attracting increasing interest due to the strong
economic performance of the last decade and to the political
changes that are taking place. This book gives a unique,
comprehensive, and up to date view of Latin America economic
development over the two centuries since Independence. It considers
Latin American economies within the wider context of the
international economy, and covers economic growth, international
trade, capital flows, and trends in inequality and human
development. With chapters that cover different eras, it traces the
major developments of Latin American countries and offers a novel
and coherent interpretation of the economic history of the region.
It combines a wealth of original research, new perspectives, and
empirical information to provide a synthesis of the growing
literature that both complements and extends previous studies.
