Título :	The Power of Preferences: Economic Elites and Light Taxation in Mexico
Palabras clave :	Política;Taxation taxes Mexico economic elite
Editorial :	Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México
Descripción :	In recent years Mexico has had the lightest tax bur - den in Latin America. Using qualitative, historical analysis, this paper argues that a crucial cause of this phenomenon is the resistance of an exception - ally politically mobilized economic elite, which has resulted in the defeat or dilution of repeated attempts at reform. The intensity of elite resistance reflects, in turn, a strongly anti-state ideology con - structed through conflict with the state, especially during the 1930s. This emphasis on the historical construction of preferences clarifies a central par - adox of the literature on Latin American taxation: the fact that a number of authors agree that elite cohesion and political connections are important, but disagree on whether they hinder or facilitate revenue-raising reform.
