The Chile project : the story of the Chicago boys and the downfall of neoliberalism
Edwards, Sebastian, 1953-2025
Books
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-centre 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.
