Persistence and Emergencies of Inequalities in Latin America
This book adopts a multidimensional approach to analyze both the historical and emerging factors that contribute to make Latin America and the Caribbean the most unequal region in the world. Social inequality is a historical characteristic of the region, but at the beginning of the 21st century, a handful of progressive governments seemed to be adopting policies that could reduce this historical trend. Many of these efforts, however, were blocked or reversed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which both exposed the persistence of historical trends and contributed to the emergency of new forms of inequality in the region. The different chapters in this contributed volume adopt a multidimensional, inte...

Intergenerational Governance and Leadership in the Corporate World: Emerging Research and Opportunities
Intergenerational equity constraints herald a call for intergenerational equity – the fairness to provide an at least as favorable standard of living as enjoyed today. While grounded in evolution, intergenerational fairness has not been attributed as a natural behavioral law – a human-imbued drive bound by human fallibility. A rounded ethical decision-making anomalies frame to test the applicability of the bounded ethicality paradigm in intergenerational concerns is missing. Behavioral socio-economics shows potential to improve human intergenerational conscientiousness on financial social responsibility and environmental ethicality is underexplored. Intergenerational Governance and Leade...
