Recent literature on the relationship between growth, inequality, democracy and development highlights, based both on analytical models and historical data, that at the root of the problems of economic instability and the fragility of democracy lies a combination of often slow growth and distributive conflict in unequal societies. The problem is compounded by the traditional difficulties to ensure adequate governance mechanisms that mediate in the distribute conflict in ways that are favorable to both growth and stability. This paper highlights missing components of current social policies in Latin America that affect the political-economy equilibrium: in particular, the neglect of the middle class as valid subject of social policy, the persistence of income and wealth inequality in a context of moderate growth and the need to put more emphasis on asset accumulation by the poor and the middle class. The paper provides economic and political economy rationales for devising new policies that could correct this neglect. 2014-01-02T16:11:57Z 2014-01-02T16:11:57Z 2006-12 Texto Documento Completo 9789211216202 http://hdl.handle.net/11362/5422 LC/L.2649-P en Serie Macroeconomía del Desarrollo 55 application/pdf AMERICA LATINA LATIN AMERICA ECLAC
