Real Wages Adjusted by Purchasing Power Parity
This paper analyses living standards in the capital cities of southern Latin America during the First Globalisation and the post-export-led period. It examines whether well-being in these cities – relative to London – improved and whether the gap in living standards between these cities narrowed or persisted. To address these questions, we constructed a new series of purchasing power parity (PPP) converters to adjust real wages and analyse their …

Latin American Inequality in the Long Run
A Comparative Approach to Inequality and Development: Latin America and Europe, organized by the three authors of this introduction
Between the colonial heritage and the first globalization boom
This paper presents a first estimate of income inequality in the Southern Cone of South America (Brazil 1872 and 1920, Chile 1870 and 1920, Uruguay 1920) and some assumptions with regard to Argentina (1870 and 1920) and Uruguay (1870). We find that income distribution was relatively high on the eve of the first globalization boom. Thus, inequality is not only the result of globalization, but also a structural feature. Inequality increased between…
Income Distribution in the Latin American Southern Cone during the First Globalization Boom and Beyond
Latin America is the most unequal region in the world and there is intense debate concerning the explanations and timing of such high levels of income inequality. Latin America was also the region, not including European Offshoots, which experienced the most rapid growth during the first globalization boom. It can, therefore, be taken as an interesting case of study regarding how globalization forces impinged on growth and income distribution in …
Convergence, trade and industrial policy
This paper discusses the economic performance of three Latin American countries (Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay) from a comparative perspective, using as a benchmark a group of four developed countries (France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States). The focus is on the relative performance within the region and between the Latin American countries and the developed countries in the period 1900–1980. The paper argues that Argentina and…
