Latin American economic development

چکیده
This article examines the strategies, successes and failures of economic development in Latin America since 1870. We divide the analysis into four key development phases: primary export-led growth (1870–1929), import substitution industrialisation (1945–82), debt crisis (1980s) and the Washington Consensus (1990s). We demonstrate progress on many fronts, but underscore two key challenges for the region. One of them relates to weak institutions and state capacity; the other is the persistence of high levels of poverty and inequality. We conclude with a discussion of these challenges and of specific actions that are necessary to accelerate development in the region.
