La redistribución de la tierra favoreció el crecimiento económico de China, Corea del Sur, Japón y Taiwán. En estos países, la distribución, aunada al apoyo estatal, contribuyó en buena medida a la subsecuente industrialización de sus economías. La literatura reconoce el notable desarrollo del Este Asiático. Sin embargo, en otras naciones, especialmente de África y Latinoamérica, las reformas agrarias distributivas no evidencian resultados satisfactorios en materia de desarrollo. Este artículo revisa la literatura sobre las contribuciones de la distribución de la tierra al desarrollo de algunos países que padecieron o padecen alta concentración de tierra y problemas de pobreza.

Land distribution favoured the economic growth of China, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. In these countries, distribution, coupled with state support, contributed greatly to the subsequent industrialisation of their economies. The literature recognises the remarkable development of East Asia. However, in other nations, especially in Africa and Latin America, distributional land reforms do not show satisfactory results in terms of development. This paper reviews the literature on the contributions of land distribution to the development of some countries that suffered from, or suffer from, a high concentration of land and poverty problems.
