Transcript of the event
The Washington Consensus , which focused on structural adjustment and growth, has dominated economic policy change for over a decade worldwide. But times have changed. A new consensus has emerged that assigns high priority to reducing poverty and improving equity. This report sets out economic policies—10 domestic and one international—that would transform this consensus into political reality in Latin America.
Washington Contentious: Economic Policies for Social Equity in Latin America spells out the findings of the Commission on Economic Reform in Unequal Latin American Societies sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and the Inter-American Dialogue
