A Comparative Approach to Inequality and Development: Latin America and Europe

The Mini-Conference will gather a group of leading scholars in the field of inequality and development. The main focus of the Mini-Conference is to promote a comparative analysis of inequality in Latin America and Europe, in order to help assess whether inequality really has been a distinctive aspect of Latin American development for centuries, what form that inequality has taken, and whether and how it has been an important factor explaining its relative backwardness. Comparisons between European and Latin American experience since pre-industrial times will enrich our understanding of both. Nevertheless, the Mini-Conference will also give place to papers containing comparative studies of Europe and/or Latin America with other regions.
