Does anyone know where I can find a reliable dataset on income inequality for Latin American countries from 1900-1970? In particular, I'm looking for Chile, Uruguay, and Argentina, but would be interested in other countries too.
Dear Miguel,
I would recommend two books, maybe they will help you.
1. How was life? Global well-being since 1820. OECD. There is a chapter on long-term income inequality. Here is a link:

2. Frankema, E. 2009. Has Latin-America always been unequal? Link is here:

Good luck!
In the case of Chile you can look at:

The paper constructs a annual measures for 1957-1998 based on on an occupation and wage survey in Greater Santiago
Gracias, todos! Si, conocía algunos de los libros mencionados. Pero me sorprende que no hay un database para bajar fácilmente. Quizás tendré que construirla!
