The article examines how democracy and income inequality are connected in Argentina from 1913 to 1999. The researchers used both numbers and descriptions to study this. They found that as democracy grew in Argentina, income inequality also increased. However, more money was given to workers. This happened because wages changed a lot due to economic problems, and money was shared with the middle class to win votes.
