Grinberg, N. (2010). Where Is Latin America Going? FTAA or “Twenty-first-Century Socialism”? Latin American Perspectives, 37(1), 185–202.

by

ABSTRACT The current political and economic situation in Latin America is characterised by a marked difference between South American countries, on one side, and Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, on the other. While the former have seen the resuscitation of pseudo-import-substitution-industrialization policies by neopopulist governments, the latter are increasingly attached to the neoliberal project. … Read more

by

ABSTRACT The paper measures the size of primary-sector surpluses in the form of ground-rent appropriated by social subjects other than landowners in Brazil, and assesses their weight in supporting the process of capital accumulation during the period 1953–2008. For that purpose, the paper identifies the mechanisms through which state policies channelled a portion of ground-rent to capital, especially in the … Read more

Its aim is to advance an alternative measurement of the flows of extraordinary wealth (i.e. ground-rent and net external credit) available for appropriation in the Brazilian economy and to asses their relevance in sustaining the process of accumulation of industrial capital. That is done … Read more

by

ABSTRACT This paper critically examines the widespread belief that the early implementation of comprehensive land reforms prior to the industrialisation process, coupled with subsequent agrarian state policies channelling the intersectoral transfer of resources, has been a central determinant of East Asia’s (mainly Taiwan’s and South Korea’s) outperformance of Latin America. We argue that, although those … Read more

by

ABSTRACT The article argues that in order to grasp fully Brazilian and Korean post-WWII developmental and growth experiences, it is first necessary to account for global-economy dynamics and the transformations in the International Division of Labour. These, together with local factors that particularly affect the objective conditions for the valorisation of capital in different productive sectors, explain the specific characteristics … Read more
