The best reads in Latin American economy and politics ahead of the weekend. By Prof. Nicolas Forsans
Our selection of the most noteworthy reads and events in Latin America this week begins with the latest in the region’s elections, politics, economic and trade outlook for the region, and organised crime dynamics. In this sixth edition of El Cafecito, we focus on pivotal developments shaping the region, from electoral blows for both Presidents Lula and Boric to the on-going repression in Venezuela and the World Bank’s proposal to tax wealth to tackle the region’s staggeringly high inequalities.
