Poverty in Latin America Throughout the myriad of problems that exist in South American and Central American countries, one problem seems to be common for all Latin American countries: poverty. For centuries, most countries in Latin America have been in the same economic state. They have enormous separations of class. Usually, the countries have no middle class, only the extremely rich and the extremely poor exist. Now, the debatable topics in this is what exactly the source of this poverty is. Did the people of these Latin American countries create this devastating poverty level themselves, or, did an outside source cause it? Some say that that the Latin American people caused their own poverty …show more content…
This would be attributed to the northern part of the 13 colonies’ lack of gold, silver or Indian civilizations with dense concentrations of people already organized for work or fabulous tropical soil fertility in the coastal strip that the English pilgrims settled. Moreover, from Maryland to Nova Scotia, through New England, the northern colonies produced under the climate and the soil characteristics, exactly the same as British agriculture, that is, that did not offer to the metropolis as additional production. Very different was the situation in the Caribbean and the Iberian mainland colonies. Of tropical lands they sprouted sugar, snuff, cotton, indigo, turpentine; a small Caribbean island was more important to England, from the economic point of view, the matrices thirteen colonies of the United States. These circumstances explain the rise and consolidation of the United States as an economically autonomous system, which did not drain out the wealth generated within it. There is a broad consensus that an economy 's performance should be evaluated not only based on the typical economic indicators - growth product, reduction of inflation and unemployment, but also, and especially, in terms of its achievements in reducing poverty and unjust socio-economic disparities.

The war that would seal the fate of colonial Latin America was born while war concluded which it made possible the consolidation of the United States as a world power. Developed shortly after President of the United States; Grant said: "For centuries England has relied on protection, it has carried to extremes and has obtained satisfactory results from it. No doubt it owes its present strength to this system. After two centuries, England has found it convenient to adopt free trade because it thinks that protection can no longer offer you anything. All right, then, gentlemen, my knowledge of my country leads me to believe that within two hundred years, when America has gotten out of protection all that protection can offer, also adopt free trade". Deprivation is repeated in the labor market: in all the countries of the region the poor typically agree to work precarious, unstable, low-wage and without benefits, or directly are unemployed. There are at least three reasons that justify the analysis of the distributive problem. The first comes from the mere scientific curiosity that the poverty and inequality are socio-economic phenomena that are interesting
