Description
Summary:Inequality in Latin America is very large and there is a great desire for greater social justice, inclusion and equal opportunities. In order to contribute to the understanding of such developments, this volume addresses the problem of economic inequality in Paraguay, Honduras and Chile.

In general, this book is a contribution to understand why inequality is highly persistent in Latin America
