Distribution of Income and Patterns of Consumption in Mexico: Empirical Testing of some Latin American Structuralist Hypotheses

Nora Lustig

Chapter 13 in Human Resources, Employment and Development, 1983, pp 236-251 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Using Mexico as a test case, this article examines a series of hypotheses about the Latin American industrialisation process, as they appear in works of Celso Furtado, Anibal Pinto, José Serra, Osvaldo Sunkel, María Concepción Tavares, Pedro Vuskovic and others of the structu-ralist school.1 According to the structuralists, the course followed by import-substitution industrialisation in Latin America, especially in the so-called difficult stage, led to a series of structural maladjustments in most of the region’s economies that were serious enough to threaten the viability of the process itself.
