This account of the interplay of politics and economics in Chile in
three successive administrations ending with the 1973 coup suggests
that social class plays a major role in determining the outcome of
economic policies in Latin America. As the author demonstrates, the
nature of the class alliance that controls the state apparatus in
Chile, together with the actions of foreign capital, determines not
only the type of economic policies followed, but their outcomes as
well.
A comparison of the three regimes of Jorge Alessandri (1958-64),
Eduardo Frei (1964-70), and Salvador Allende (1970-73) is
especially important because they represent the main approaches to
economic development available to all Third World countries today.
The three regimes are compared in terms of policies on property
relations, government expenditure, credit, investment, wages,
prices, employment, and foreign investment. The outcomes are
analyzed through data on economic growth and income distribution.
In a concluding chapter, the author comments on the meaning of the
Chilean experience for other countries.
