The Political and Economic Consequences of Populist Rule in Latin America (2016, neutral): “In addition, because the 2000s saw a general reduction in inequality across the region that has been attributed to a variety of forces, including a positive global economic environment (López-Calva and Lustig 2010), we need to determine the extent to which any reduction in socioeconomic inequality w”
