There are large economic and social divisions in Latin American nations. A very small percentage of people live in wealth, while most of the population struggles in poverty. This causes issues with quality of life and hinders the development of strong democracies. Some countries have had more economic success by focusing development projects in key areas or improving trade relations with other nations. However, lifting many out of poverty remains a major challenge.

What political, economic and social divisions in
L.A. nations hinder successful democracies?
In Latin America there are enormous economic gaps between the people who live there. There are a very small percentage of people living in wealth and a very large percentage of the poor who struggle to get by. This causes a ton of issues with peoples standard of living and daily life. There are wealthy cities that are full of the rich and right at the edge of the city lies all the poor and unstructured poor. This relates back to the old saying the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer. Uruguay, Chile, Argentina remain the poorest countries in South america, while Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia are the richest of South America. This is a major problem in South America because it restricts their ability to adapt a strong democracy. There isnt much hope that the people living in poverty will ever get out of it. This means that there isnt really a way for latin america to improve their economy. Its too far down the road to look back and try to fix it. Some suggest that the debts that people owe should just be forgotten or something major needs to happen to create change. There were military rulers of Brazil that focused mainly on improving the economy of Brazil, this extremely helped the economy boom. Many projects took place in the amazon that were a major impact. Cubas communist background makes it hard for the nation to grow economically. The United States refused to trade with Cuba and put up trade barriers. NFTA or the North American Free Trade Agreement removed the trade barriers between Mexico, America, and Canada allowing these nations to trade freely without any restrictions on what they're allowed to do.
