Abstract
This comprehensive volume with contributions of leading scholars is divided into two parts, offering a multidimensional economic and social analysis of inequality. Part I delves into the measurement and patterns of economic inequality across different regions and periods, presenting new and original regional research that document the magnitude and cycles of economic inequality in Latin America from the times. Part II explores the intricate social relations that engendered and shaped inequality, examining caste and class dynamics, gender disparities, taxation and the impact of slavery. This book shows that the history of inequality in Latin America is as much as story of persistence as it is of constant reinvention that defies stereotypes and simplifications.
