This book 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. 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aLatin America?Economic conditions 606 $aSocial structure 606 $aEquality 606 $aPolitical economy 606 $aEconomic growth 606 $aEconomic History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W41000 606 $aLatin American and Caribbean Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W45040 606 $aSocial Structure, Social Inequality$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22010 606 $aInternational Political Economy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912140 606 $aEconomic Growth$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W44000 610 $aDevelopment Economics 610 $aEconomic Growth 610 $aSocial Structure, Social Inequality 610 $aPolitical Economy 610 $aLatin American Culture 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aLatin America?Economic conditions. 615 0$aSocial structure. 615 0$aEquality. 615 0$aPolitical economy. 615 0$aEconomic growth. 615 14$aEconomic History. 615 24$aLatin American and Caribbean Economics. 615 24$aSocial Structure, Social Inequality. 615 24$aInternational Political Economy. 615 24$aEconomic Growth. 676 $a338.9 700 $aBértola$b Luis$4edt$01485008 702 $aBértola$b Luis$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aWilliamson$b Jeffrey$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910166955903321 996 $aHas Latin American Inequality Changed Direction$93882526 997 $aUNINA
