TL;DR: The relationship between foreign investment and unilateral transfers is a multifaceted one as mentioned in this paper, and it is necessary to analyse this relationship because it is one of the most important and least examined relationships determining long-term economic development in Latin America.
Abstract: The relationship between foreign investment and unilateral transfers is a multifaceted one. It is necessary to analyse this relationship because it is one of the most important and least examined relationships determining long-term economic development in Latin America.1 Unilateral resource transfers are a pernicious disease afflicting major segments of the society, economy and political system of the majority of Latin American countries. The pervasive presence of unilateral transfers in developing countries is a critical factor that separates them from the present day developed countries during their corresponding early stages of growth. While the discussion of capital and interest rates formed the foundation of classical economic thinking, it is the origin, size, and distribution of unilateral transfers that implicitly form the, or at least a, major foundation of modern development thinking.

Abstract: Latin American countries have a better record of income growth than of either creating employment or improving income distribution. They seem incapable of incorporating all those able and willing to work into high productivity employment. They have been unable to achieve a rapid enough growth of income and productivity in the countryside and urban areas, in rural agriculture as well as rural services, in remote provinces as well as in the capital cities, in education, transportation as well as industry and mining, so that all labourers can contribute to output and receive a fair share of aggregate income and expenditures.1
