My new Op-Ed (in Spanish) in Agenda Pública

I am currently working on a book on what Latin American teaches about inequality to the rest of the world (you can find a short description here).  In reading about the region's history and comparing it with the present, it became clear how difficult building a vibrant democracy has been.  In unequal contexts, the elite just have limited incentives to allow for an institutional structure that promotes redistribution.  I reflect on this problem in my recent Op-Ed in Agenda Publica (where I am happy to now be a regular contributor).  As always, comments are most welcomed!
