Chile: The Switzerland of the South?

Roland Benedikter and Katja Siepmann

Challenge, 2013, vol. 56, issue 5, 5-30

Abstract: Branded the "Switzerland of the Global South," Chile has made, at least it appears from the outside, admirable economic advances. It is the poster child for U.S.-inspired neoliberal policies. But why, then, is there so much social unrest? The authors unravel the story in a wonderful narrative—a full account of a developing country as a case study of seeming success and underlying discomfort. The story begins with one of Chile's entrepreneurial families.
