Book Synopsis
Although inequality in Latin America ranks among the worst in the world, it has notably declined over the years, offset by improvements in health care and education, enhanced programs for social assistance, and increases in the minimum wage. The author argues that the resurgence of democracy in Latin America is key to this change.

Trade Review
"Evelyne Huber and John D. Stephens have provided the most theoretically profound, empirically thorough, and wide-ranging work that advances the more optimistic view that democracy itself plays a crucial role in stimulating redistribution in Latin America and that the political left is the most important agent in effecting this change. Democracy and the Left is an important, major book that advances a powerful argument about a significant topic and substantiates it with an impressive range of research." (Kurt Weyland, University of Texas)"
