His findings challenge the conventional views that redistribution in Latin America is either doomed to failure or else is the inevitable consequence of a balance of proredistributive and antiredistributive forces. Ascher shows that tactics and... Scheming for the Poor is the first comparative analysis of redistributive policymaking in Latin America. Ascher examines the success or fail... |
