Taxation and Inequality in Latin America: New Perspectives on Political Economy and Tax Regimes: Global Challenges in Political Economy

Editat de Philip Fehling, Hans-Jürgen Burchardt
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 mai 2023
Taxation and Inequality in Latin America takes a heterodox political economy approach, focusing on Latin America, where current problems of taxation have existed for a century and great wealth contrasts with abject poverty. The book analyzes the relation of natural resource wealth, allocational politics and the limited role of taxation for redistribution, and progressive resource mobilization. By drawing on the political economy of tax regimes, the book considers the specific conditions of taxation in Latin America, which apply to a large part of the Global South and more than 100 countries specializing in the extraction and export of raw materials. This book will cover:
  • taxation and the dominance of raw material export sectors;
  • taxation and allocational politics;
  • new perspectives on political economy and tax regimes.
Scholars and advanced students of political economy, political science, development studies, and fiscal sociology will find several key issues in tax research from a novel angle. The book provides an analytical orientation that relates central questions of taxation to patterns of regional political economy, thereby opening up the debate with tax scholars from other world regions of the Global South.

Recenzii

José Antonio Ocampo, Minister of Finance and Public Credit of Colombia, former Executive Secretary of the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean:
Tax reform is one of the most pressing issues in contemporary Latin America, a region historically plagued by excessive inequality, high dependence on natural resource exploitation and unacceptable levels of tax evasion. This edited volume provides an excellent examination of the implications of fiscal policy on the raw material sector and the way to design adequate tax policies to manage it.
Claudia Sanhueza Riveros, Undersecretary of Finance in the Chilean Ministry of Finance:
Tax systems should reflect social preferences for redistribution, and while the vast majority of people in Latin America believe that inequalities are unfair, our tax systems and social services do not do enough to address these social and economic inequalities. This book offers a vision from political economy to analyze the relationship between natural resource wealth, allocational politics, and the limited role of tax regimes for redistribution and progressive resource mobilization. A piece of knowledge that will help to understand the current status quo and identify tools to move forward.
Abdul Muheet Chowdhary, Senior Programme Officer of the South Centre Tax Initiative, SOUTHVIEWS:
The volume Taxation and Inequality in Latin America: New Perspectives on Political Economy and Tax Regimes is an insightful collection of articles about the patterns of inequality in Latin America and detailing the nature of tax avoidance and evasion in the region, with lessons from political attempts to bring about progressive reforms and tax considerations for policymakers about the future of the region’s development.
