Has Latin America always been unequal? : a comparative study of asset and income inequality in the long twentieth century /

Employing comparative and quantitative historical methods Frankema explores long run trends of asset and income distribution in Latin America, arguing that there is little reason to regard the yawning gap between rich and poor as the persistent result of a colonial heritage.
