Elite Perceptions of Poverty and Inequality
The researchers who have written this volume are clear not only that mass poverty is still the leading humanitarian crisis in developing countries, but that, if effective policies are to be put in place, the national elites who control governments and economies need to be convinced of both the reasons why reducing poverty is in their own and the national interest, and that public action can make a difference. Remarkably, in the rapidly growing literature on poverty, this volume is the first to use survey techniques to explore Third World elites' attitudes to poverty. Five cases - intended to be broadly representative of the diversity of situations in developing countries - were chosen: Brazi...

The Social Life of Economic Inequalities in Contemporary Latin America
This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This edited volume examines how economic processes have worked upon social lives and social realities in Latin America during the past decades. Through tracing the effects of the neoliberal epoch into the era of the so-called pink tide, the book seeks to understand to what extent the turn to the left at the start of the millennium managed to challenge historically constituted configurations of inequality. A central argument in the book is that in spite of economic reforms and social advances on a range of arenas, the fundamental tenants of socio-economic inequalities have not been challenged substantially. As several countries are now experiencing a return to right-wing politics, this collection helps us better understand why inequalities are so entrenched in the Latin American continent, but also the complex and creative ways that it is continuously contested. The book directs itself to students, scholars and anyone interested in Latin America, economic anthropology, political anthropology, left-wing politics, poverty and socio-economic inequalities.
Desigualdad y desequilibrio
EL ANÁLISIS MÁS PROFUNDO Y VANGUARDISTA SOBRE LOS VÍNCULOS ENTRE EL SECTOR FINANCIERO Y LA DESIGUALDAD DE LAS RENTAS. En el momento en que los mercados financieros tomaron las riendas de la economía global, las reglas del juego cambiaron radicalmente. Las sociedades capitalistas se enfrentaban a un escenario inédito de consecuencias imprevisibles y, desde entonces, la desigualdad empezó a acentuarse a un ritmo vertiginoso. Hoy, las diferencias económicas entre los ciudadanos son tan acentuadas que la desigualdad ya ocupa un lugar central en el debate económico. James K. Galbraith ha conseguido reunir todos los elementos necesarios —ideas innovadoras, lucidez analítica, nuevos datos reveladores, brillantez expositiva— para que este trabajo se convierta en una obra de referencia ineludible.

Brasil
Entre 1964 y 1968, un gobierno juzgado demasiado radical fue derrocado por un golpe militar, instalando una dictadura. Medio siglo después, entre 2016 y 2018, otro gobierno fue derrocado por un golpe parlamentario, instalando a un ferviente admirador de la dictadura en la presidencia. En el gobierno de Bolsonaro hay más ministros militares que en los gobiernos surgidos del golpe. La situación, obviamente no es la misma, y el régimen no es aquel, pero que la curva general de la historia en estos cincuenta años forma una parábola, una que da forma a la narrativa y al título que sigue, es clara. En estos años, Brasil ha sido también el teatro de un drama sociopolítico sin equivalente ...
