Abstract

Studies by different international institutions show that the number of poor people has grown in both relative and absolute terms in nearly every country, while concentrations of wealth have reached unprecedented levels, causing deep changes in the social structure. [...]multiplication of poverty and inequality is partly a result of the failure of practices adopted under pressure from international credit and development agencies on behalf of the so-called Washington Consensus (privatization, market liberalization). [...]the author aims to discuss the issue of inequalities from the viewpoint of class-domination relations – a perspective that has been gaining ground in social sciences and that should be extended to the political agenda. Latin America, social structure, socioeconomic inequalities, philanthropy Este artículo1 pretende hacer breves reflexiones sobre algunos significados sociológicos y políticos de la concentración de la renta en América Latina, sobre todo en esta última etapa, donde la globalización y la transformación neoliberal de nuestros países y del capitalismo mundial ha producido, entre otros aspectos, no sólo más pobreza y exclusión, sino una concentración de la riqueza mucho mayor que en otros tiempos.
