Question

why are latifundias seen to have a negative impact on the development of a country

Answer 1

if the wealthy of a country started moving into their latifundias, they started hiring bodyguards, farmers, and other workers. soon these latifundias became mini-towns and the country falls out of bussiness causing a negative impact on the country by letting the country out of bussiness

Answer 2

Hey Friend :-)

Here is your answer

By definition, Latifundia means highly mechanized commercial operations that yield high returns for low investment in labor. When latifundia becomes more mechanized, farmworkers are leaving the land for the cities since it only depends more on machines and automatic devices.
