      Today's @bopinion post is about how poor countries started catching up to rich ones. It looks like decolonization just took a few decades to start working.https://bloom.bg/2yKQWGQ

      Interesting, but how to make sense of Latin America?

      Latin America started out richer than other developing regions and so would be expected to converge less quickly...in addition, many Latin American countries are resource exporters, subject to the boom and bust cycle (and Resource Curse).

          In 1900, per capita incomes in Canada and Argentina were about the same. Now, per capita income in Argentina is 44% what it is in Canada. Solow doesn't explain that.

          Latin America has been subject to US Monroe Doctrine/anti-communist military interventions and meddling lasting into the 1990s at least. This puts them further behind the curve than, say, African countries who mostly gained complete independence in the 50s-60s imho.

          Also, there are crazy-high Gini coefficients in Latin American countries, suggesting structural impediments to income and wealth redistribution.
