This work examines three advanced Latin American republics with
long records of democracy, political stability, and economic
prosperity which degenerated into instability and military
dictatorship--and issues a warning for other democratic peoples.
Although not beset by overpopulation, serious racial diversity, or
widespread illiteracy, in recent decades the people of Uruguay,
Argentina, and Chile destroyed much of the good life and many of
the freedoms they formerly enjoyed. Electing too few statesmen and
too many politicians, they demanded more from their governments
than they were willing to pay for. Rejecting sound economic
policies, they engaged in unrealistic practices which led to
exorbitant inflation. In contrast to traditional respect for
individual freedoms, the military governments they brought in to
solve their problems committed gross violations of human rights.
The political and economic blunders and their unfortunate
consequences should serve as a warnings to the citizens of all
democracies.
