Wealth, Development, and Social Inequalities in Latin America: Transdisciplinary Insights: Coping with Crisis - Latin American Perspectives

Editat de Hans-Jürgen Burchardt, Irene Lungo Rodríguez
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 sep 2023
In this book, Hans-Jürgen Burchardt and Irene Lungo-Rodríguez lead a transdisciplinary team of experts to advance our understanding of wealth in Latin America.
Combining conceptual discussions with empirical research, they analyze characteristics of wealth, and the implications for inequality. Three thematic sections provide a unique overarching structure to understand the economic, social, political, and cultural complexity of wealth. Questions examined include:
  • What economic, institutional, and structural factors contribute to the excessive accumulation of wealth?
  • What political dynamics promote the concentration of wealth and power?
  • What type of social, political, and economic relations are generated in these contexts of extreme wealth concentration?
  • What socio-cultural processes contribute to legitimizing and reproducing wealth?
  • What are the local, regional, and national socio-ecological effects of these dynamics?
Wealth, Development and Social Inequalities in Latin America provides thought-provoking reading for students and researchers alike who wish to look beyond the Global North for answers on the importance of studying wealth.

Recenzii

"In Latin America, most research on inequality and sustainability still focuses on the study of poverty and social and socio-ecological exclusion. While these are fundamental issues to understand the great challenges facing Latin America, it is also necessary to address the other side of the coin: wealth. In the region income and wealth is more concentrated among the wealthy than anywhere else in the world. This book illuminates this reality by presenting deep insights and new methodological perspectives on an under-explored topic in Latin American studies: Wealth and its economic, political, and cultural dimensions."
Diego Sánchez Ancochea, Professor of Political Economy of Development, University of Oxford
