Inflation passed from a purely monetary phenomenon to an intrinsic part of the
modern economic system. This paper aims to perform a general analysis of the new inflationary
processes, particularly the “administered inflation” from economic agents with market
power, the “compensatory inflation” to remunerate capital, and the “corrective inflation”,
produced by the state when trying to correct the distortions caused by the economic
policy.

This paper aims to discuss some issues related to post-Keynesian growth and
distribution models and how the introduction of the concept of mark-up can contribute as
an alternative to the distribution model and become a key feature to build a growth model.
We part from the assumption that Harrod’s analysis does not mention any contribution to
explaining distribution. Kaldor aims to eliminate such limitations through the non-realistic
assumption that the economy is always operating under full employment. We show how the
introduction of mark-up can be a solution to this issue.

The European Community and the Latin America regions have economic and
political relations that should be considered in the broader context of international relations
of industrialized western countries and the developing world. To explain such dynamics, this
paper is divided into three parts: i) the integration of Latin American countries, ii) the policies
from the European Community in integrating with developing countries, iii) the necessary
conditions for such integration to be beneficial to both parties.
