The other is to fail in untying the political knot that blocks growth, leaving it a middle-income country. The source of

The existing literature tends to focus on the impacts of democratization and political performance on the economic growth of the country as a whole or on changes to per capita income.

Although inequality in Latin America ranks among the worst in the world, it has notably declined over the last decade, offset by improvements in health care and education, enhanced programs for social assistance, and increases in the minimum wage.

In addition to directly affecting public policy, democratic institutions enable left-leaning political parties to emerge, significantly
