The Chile Project: The Story of the Chicago Boys and the Downfall of Neoliberali

Description: The Chile Project by Sebastian Edwards Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description In The Chile Project, Sebastian Edwards tells the remarkable story of how the neoliberal economic model - installed in Chile during the Pinochet dictatorship and deepened during three decades of left-of-center governments - came to an end in 2021, when Gabriel Boric, a young former student activist, was elected president, vowing that If Chile was the cradle of neoliberalism, it will also be its grave. More than a story about one Latin American country, The Chile Project is a behind-the-scenes history of the spread and consequences of the free-market thinking that dominated economic policymaking around the world in the second half of the twentieth century - but is now on the retreat.In 1955, the U.S. State Department launched the Chile Project to train Chilean economists at the University of Chicago, home of the libertarian Milton Friedman. After General Augusto Pinochet overthrew socialist president Salvador Allende in 1973, Chiles Chicago Boys implemented the purest neoliberal model in the world for the next seventeen years, undertaking a sweeping package of privatization and deregulation, creating a modern capitalist economy, and sparking talk of a "Chilean miracle." But under the veneer of success, a profound dissatisfaction with the vast inequalities caused by neoliberalism was growing. In 2019, protests erupted throughout the country, and in 2022 Boric began his presidency with a clear mandate: to end neoliberalismo.In telling the fascinating story of the Chicago Boys and Chiles free-market revolution, The Chile Project provides an important new perspective on the history of neoliberalism and its global decline today.A fascinating insider intellectual history of the policies and personalities behind Chiles economic development in recent decades.
