Cover Capital Movements and Corporate Dominance in Latin America
Capital Movements and Corporate Dominance in Latin America
Reduced Growth and Increased Instability
Edited by Noemi Levy-Orlik, Jorge A. Bustamante-Torres, and Louis-Philippe Rochon
This book addresses the problems of Latin America, through two of the most important features of the post-Bretton Woods economic order, large corporations and weak financial markets. In turn, it shows that their impact on economic growth and development is feeble and short-lived. This resulted in income concentration and an extremely unequal distribution of wealth in the region.
