Government Policy And The Distribution Of Income In Peru 1963-1973

For the past decade, the redistribution of income has been a key element in Peruvian government policy. Overall, the Peruvian government's economic policy has been mildly progressive, but not progressive enough to have an appreciable effect on the widespread poverty. The elimination of poverty must precede a concern for equity per se, and the needs of the very poor must acquire the status of rights rather than claims to compassion.Webb, Richard C. is the author of 'Government Policy And The Distribution Of Income In Peru 1963-1973', published 1977 under ISBN 9780674358300 and ISBN 0674358309.
