Freedom, Development, and Poverty
ABSTRACT
In Latin America, poverty and critical social inequalities have been constant problems since even before those countries’ independence. Using the elimination of poverty and social inequality as justification, some governments in the region are taking measures against the private sector, reducing freedom within mass-media, culture, education, and, of course, within the political sphere. This conference, held in Venezuela, discussed economic development in Latin America.
