Colombia’s Missing Fiscal Pact: The Political and Cultural Foundations of Weak Taxation

Authors: Fergusson L.

Journal: Economia

Year: 2026

DOI: 10.31389/eco.478

Open Access: All Open Access; Gold Open Access; Green Open Access

Abstract: This paper argues that Colombia’s taxation problems reflect a deeper political economy equilibrium shaped by extractive institutions, extreme inequality, and cultural norms that favor individual solutions over collective ones. Historical legacies produced a weak and often distrusted state, which in turn fostered social norms that legitimize rule-...
