If you were given a choice of becoming a random citizen in any country in Latin America, which country would you pick? In 1972 Chile would probably have been towards the bottom of your list. Today it would probably be towards the top, if not the top. A whole nation pulled from economic ruin, to relative affluence. Doesn't that count for anything?
