Globalidad sin equidad: notas sobre la experiencia latinoamericana

Abstract

Both the adjustment and changes sought in the Latin American productive structure have led to profound changes in economic dynamics, as well as to a serie of sectoral and regional dislocations that have produced a deficient social outlook, reflected in mass impoverishment and excessive concentrations of income and wealth. However, placing in perspective Latin American attempts to redefine its patterns of development in the context of internationalization opened up by the current phase of globalization does not prevent us from designing the productive and rational surmounting of current restrictions. In this respect, rethinking the role of the modern, democratic national State involves revising spending and financing patterns as well as the terms of reference of industrial development as central, obligatory tasks in overcoming poverty and creating societies in wich equity prevails.
