دانلود کتاب Beyond tradeoffs: market reforms and equitable growth in Latin America

توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب به زبان اصلی :

Latin American income distribution is among the most unequal in the world. Both the poor and the wealthy have paid a price for this inequality, which is in part responsible for the region's low growth rates. The essays in this book propose new ways of reducing inequality, not by growth-inhibiting transfers and regulations, but by enhancing efficiency and eliminating consumption subsidies for the wealthy, increasing the productivity of the poor, and shifting to a more labour and skill-demanding growth path. In "Beyond Tradeoffs", Latin American experts demonstrate how market-friendly measures in key policy areas can simultaneously promote greater equity and greater efficiency. By identifying win-win strategies, the authors challenge the conventional wisdom that there is always a tradeoff between these two objectives. Extensive macroeconomic reforms in the region have provided opportunities to implement such strategies across many sectors. The volume aims at building a "Latin consensus" on a second round of reform - reforms that address the urgent issue of inequality without undermining efficient growth.
