This book analyzes Chile's political economy over the last 30 years
and the country's attempt to build a market society in a highly
inegalitarian society, now as a member country of the Organization
for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The investigation
provides a historical background of Chilean economy and society and
discusses the cultural underpinnings of the imposition of free
markets, the macroeconomic and growth performance of the 1990s and
2000s, and the social record of privatization of education, health,
and social security. The treatment documents the growing
concentration of economic power among small groups of elites in
Chile and discusses the limits of the democratic system built after
the departure of the Pinochet regime.
