Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the "Chicago Boys," this book delves into the influential group of economists trained at the University of Chicago who shaped Chile's economic landscape following the 1973 military coup. It highlights their radical free-market strategies and the interplay between their ideological fervor and Pinochet's authoritarian regime. The narrative examines how their policies transformed Chile's economy into a Latin American model post-democracy, offering insights into the global transfer of economic ideas and the impact of neoliberalism in developing countries.
