And so we turn back to morality...

Can you please cite this article. My understanding was that Pinochet brought in the "Chicago Boys". Pinochet wrote a constitution where he promised to leave by 1989. Which was when he did leave, although he didn't completely honor his promise by making him self permanent head of the Army. The socialists did come to power, but they did not touch one of his economic policies. The same is true today. They call themselves socialist but they have not nationalized a thing. Pinochet also started a privatised social security system that the government has not touched, and Clinton used to go around saying how great it was. Chile had the highest growth rates of any latin American country during the late seventies and eighties and was hit the least hardest by the debt crisis. Chile was the only country in Latin America during that time to have a stable currency and low inflation (except for Costa Rica). Maybe T-Rex can find the section on Chile from Commanding Heights, like he did Gorbachaves quotes. In that series they explained the whole process.

It's here. You need real player or windows media player to hear it.
The article said everything you said, except the debt crisis thing.
