505 0 _aFrom its past and present, Chile is poised to provide a better future for its people -- A brief history: the role of authoritarian conditions and crises in shaping political and economic orders in Chile -- Cementing neoliberalism: a cultural revolution for the free market -- Economic growth and macroeconomic performance in the 1990s and 2000s under four Concertación governments -- The social record of the post-Pinochet administrations: poverty declines but high inequality persists -- The social policies of the 1990s and 2000s: neoliberalism tempered with social protection? -- Concentration of economic power: the new elites of the super-rich, oligopolistic markets, and dual production structures -- Limits to Chilean democracy and governance for capital -- Summary and issues for the future.
520 _aThis 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.
