Abstract

In the context of the profound evolution of the global situation, the issue of income distribution has become increasingly prominent, and the development process of developing countries has always attracted much attention. The problem of economic inequality seems to be a complex puzzle among them. From a macroeconomic perspective, economic inequality is not only related to the fairness of income distribution, but also deeply involves the sustainability of economic growth, social harmony and stability, and the degree of sharing of development achievements. Latin America, as a typical region with a concentration of developing countries and long-standing prominent economic inequality, its experiences of fiscal challenges, economic fluctuations and blocked social development provide a highly valuable sample for studying the relationship between economic inequality and the dilemmas of developing countries. This article studies the persistent problem of inequality in Latin America from the colonial era to the present, the predicament intertwined with its policy systems, industries, marginal issues, that is, the common difficulties faced by developing countries in the pursuit of development. Exploring the impact and solutions of economic inequality in this region can not only find a way out for Latin America’s development, but also provide reference for other developing countries, help understand how economic inequality can break through development dilemmas from a macroeconomic perspective, and contribute to global poverty reduction and development goals.
