Neoliberalism has occupied Latin America for over three decades. The neoliberalism eliminates tariffs and government subsidies of national industry and implementing national policies that favor the needs of business and investment.

Neoliberalism made the state look like …show more content…

Neoliberalism is the main cause of the difference between the rich and the poor in the states. It expanded the market efficiency by competitions between individuals, raised a gap between the rich and the poor. Rich people are becoming much richer based on their original properties while poor people are becoming poorer and suffer great economic problems in their lives. This does not only happen between individuals but also between companies. The unemployment rate increased because of neoliberalism. In neoliberalism, unemployment will target any person with less working ability which might cause hatred. Also, it caused a widening inequality of both wealth and income in Latin America. Skilled workers have an opportunity to get higher wages; on the other hand, low-skilled workers can only get low wages. Neoliberalism causes a limit to wage …show more content…

I discussed how neoliberalism caused a loss of the state revenue, how it weakened the regulation of labor, how it caused the discharging of employees and the decrease in wages. Another of neoliberalism negative effect is the increase of the price food products, oil, and fuel and other essential products.

Primarily because the meaning of liberalism was flipped and changed under FDR’s time in office. During the 19th century liberalism was interpreted to mean limited government and free-market economics, however Roosevelt used the term to refer to a large active state that saw liberty as, "greater security for the average man”. The idea that liberty is more closely linked to security as compared to freedom from government intervention.

    This work operates as a protest, not solely against the abuse and avarice of the North American companies in Latin America, but also against the consumeristic advertising utilized by companies. The writer commences his criticism by mentioning icons of consumerism that took over the planet, such as “Coca Cola Inc., Anaconda, […] and other entities” (Schmitt 179). Such companies are depictions of the American industry, which “[reserves] the juiciest for itself” (Schmitt 179) and benefits from the resources Latin American countries offer. The nations filled with “greatness, liberty and flags” (Schmitt 179) become submissive to external dominance and, once powerhouses suck out their richest supplies, they are relinquished and forgotten, for they deliver no more efficient use. Neruda undertakes to bring attentiveness to these discriminations brought upon local Central and South American populations, who were dominated by dictators and American companies.
