(Bloomberg) --
From Chile to Venezuela, 2019 has been a year of political upheaval in Latin America: Slowing growth and painful policy adjustments have exposed underlying stress from high inequality and ineffective governance. Chile's combination of high inequality and limited progress at addressing the problem stands out -- and is a contributing factor to its recent unrest, according to research by Bloomberg Economics. Mexico and Brazil look even worse -- flagging the risk of social instability in Latin America's other major economies, if recently-elected governments don't meet high expectations.
