Investing in Latin American Democracy: Impacts of Corrosive and Constructive Capital

Investing in Latin American Democracy: Impact of Corrosive and Constructive Capital summarizes the key findings from five years of investigation into the influx and effects of “corrosive” and “constructive” capital in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, and Venezuela. The weakened and fragile state of many countries in Latin America has increased their dependency on foreign financing, which often comes from corrupt, authoritarian nations. The report uses case studies from these countries to demonstrate the problems corrosive capital creates and offers practical ways countries can attract capital with a constructive impact on their economies.
