Billionaires” and Capitalist Development in World-Historical Perspective
The extraordinary increase in the number and wealth of billionaires in the past two decades has yielded a groundswell of analyses of the shifting patterns of economic growth around the globe and the reconfiguration of transnational elites. But data limitations have hampered attempts to situate these trends in world-historical context. This paper introduces a new data set to begin overcoming such limitations. This original data set provides releva…
Sugar, Slavery, and Creative Destruction
Recent literature in the world-systems perspective has refocused attention on questions of ‘core’ and ‘periphery’ in historical capitalism, yet rarely critically examines the underlying assumptions regarding these zones. Drawing on a developing dataset on the world’s wealthiest individuals (the World-Magnates Database), we trace the development and expansion of sugar circuits across the Atlantic world from the sixteenth through the eighteenth cen…
Income differentials and global migration in the contemporary world-economy
Shifting the unit of analysis from the nation-state to the world as a whole fundamentally changes our understanding of migration. Elsewhere, the authors have argued that ascriptive criteria centered on national identity and citizenship have long served as a fundamental basis of inequality in the world. Here, they develop a model that seeks to identify the main forces driving migration across the world-economy. They test this model by drawing on a…

Trends in World Income Inequality and the ‘Emerging Middle’
Thinking globally about inequality and stratification
There are many contending paradigms in the study of inequality and stratification, with little dialogue across empirical, methodological and theoretical divides. To bridge some of these gaps, this article presents and analyzes a new dataset on urban wages across the world. The data provide compelling evidence that national residence has been a significant and stable force shaping wage distribution. But the data also indicate that some occupations…
Redes regionales y movimientos sociales transnacionales en patrones emergentes de colaboración y conflicto en las américas
Con este artículo buscamos sugerir algunas pautas para el debate sobre las transformaciones de «la ciudadanía» en América Latina. Después de una breve revisión de los procesos que inciden en las reconfiguraciones de la ciudadanía, argumentamos que la aproximación formal a los derechos y obligaciones ciudadanas debe ser renovada y complementada con una aproximación antropológica; argumentamos también que los procesos de globalización y cambio soci…
Responding to Disaster
Two similar disastrous fires struck concert venues in the USA (The Station, 2003) and Argentina (República Cromañón, 2004). We explore similarities and contrasts in public responses to these tragedies to better understand two patterns of collective action. One pattern (‘insider’) revolves around the deployment of forms of action and organization aimed at working within the constraints and opportunities already available or easily attainable withi…
Los ejes de la tercera vía en América Latina
Este artículo analiza los desafíos actuales para el desarrollo de una Tercera Vía de corte social democrático en América Latina. Una vez revisadas las diferentes perspectivas y criticas en torno a dicho proyecto, este trabajo especula sobre su proceso de implementación y las posibilidades que el mismo brinda para la formación tanto de un nuevo Régimen Internacional de Política (RIP) como de un nuevo Sistema Global de Bienestar (SGB). El argumento…
El movimiento doble
The Summit process in the Americas and the complex negotiations around the FTAA are specific manifestations, at a regional level, of broader transformations in the international politics and the world-economy. But in a “double movement,” the global expansion of markets has simultaneously generated pressures that seek a social and political regulation of those markets. Thus, regional networks and coalitions and, in some cases, transnational social…
Theorizing the relationship between inequality and economic growth
Measuring National Income
Recent studies of trends in world income inequalities show that results differ significantly depending on whether income is measured through Purchasing Power Parities (PPP)- or exchange rate (FX)-based data. Korzeniewicz and Moran (1997), for example, relying on FX-based national income data, argue that world income inequalities rose during the 1980s. Firebaugh (1999), on the other hand, using PPP-based national income data, counters that world i…
Poverty, Inequality, and Growth in Latin America
This article revisits debates concerning poverty, inequality, and development in Latin America and explores a possible “high road” to globalization capable of achieving both more rapid economic growth and significant and lasting reductions in poverty and inequality. In reconnoitering the contours of this path, the authors probe a partial convergence in theory, concepts, and policies that may offer new opportunities for bridging the yawning chasms…

World-Economic Trends in the Distribution of Income, 1965-1992
This article assesses trends in world income inequality between 1965 and 1992. The study first decomposes Theil's T to show that between-country inequality is the most significant component of overall world income inequality, which facilitates fruther research, as between-country longitudinal data are more easily available than national income distribution data. Next, the study uses a larger set of nations and finds a signigicant increase in worl…

Las vísperas del peronismo. Los conflictos laborales entre 1930 y 1943
The Labor Politics of Radicalism
O N December 4, 1928, President Hipolito Yrigoyen of Argentina ordered federal troops into Santa Fe province to put an end to a major wave of labor unrest. The historical literature makes little or no mention of this federal intervention and its surrounding events, treating the Santa Fe crisis as a minor footnote to the last Yrigoyen administration.' This essay will demonstrate that the 1928 events warrant greater analytical inquiry

The Labour Movement and the State in Argentina, 1887-1907
Through the late nineteenth century, capitalist entrepreneurs in Argentina introduced major innovations in the organisation of the workplace and the labour market. As I have indicated in another article, these innovations were largely designed to undermine craft controls over access to skills, thereby allowing employers to bypass the informal craft organisations that had previously regulated labour supplies and the labour process (Korzeniewicz, f…
