Description

"Articulate and provocative, Economic Reforms in Chile offers the most comprehensive and timely assessment available of Chilean economic reform, starting with the military dictatorship of Pinochet in the 1970s and continiung through the "reforms of reforms" made by the democratic governments of the 1990s.". "Ricardo Ffrench-Davis begins with an overview of the Chilean economy during the last fifty years. This historical time frame is divided into three periods of economic reform. The first period covers the Pinochet regime, during which the more orthodox neoliberalism was implemented. The second period includes the Pinochet dictatorship, during which economic policy shifted toward pragmatism, particularly in the areas of trade and finance; it also includes the crisis of 1982 and its effects. The third period begins in 1990 with the return to democratic elections and the significant reforms to prior reforms. This section also examines the search for growth-with-equity, success in investment and growth performance, macroeconomic sustainability, and the reduction of poverty."--BOOK JACKET.
