Government and Politics of Uruguay (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Government and Politics of Uruguay
Uruguay is a thoroughly social-democratic country. It has dedicated a very large proportion of its national wealth in the past fifty years to the improvement of living levels for the lower-class members of the population. As a result, the distribution of the wealth of the country has been so ex tensive as nearly to outrun the productivity of the economy. At the same time, State monopolies or quasi-monopolies control a broad sector of the economy. Private property is secure, and high profits can he earned in certain lines, but conservative or even antiquated standards prevail in regard to many business practices, and therefore preclude expansion even within the possibilities of the country. It would be easy for the dogmatist to allege, as is so often done, that the real trouble with the country is that it is socialist. This would ignore completely, however, that the country embarked upon socialism because it would accelerate the achievement of economic equality, and thus make political democracy a reality for many of its people.
