Concluding Remarks and Challenges

Ricardo Ffrench-Davis

Chapter X in Economic Reforms in Chile, 2010, pp 268-277 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The Concertación Democrática completed two decades in command of the Chilean economy, through four presidential regimes. The first three democratic regimes covered a period of time as long as the sixteen years of dictatorship, when neoliberal reforms were implemented. In this closing chapter, first, a brief summary of the sixteen years of dictatorship versus the first sixteen years of democracy is made, focused on economic growth and income distribution outcomes; summary outcomes for the full two decades of Concertación regimes are also presented. Then, four general conclusions that I consider must be present in the analyses of Chilean development are reported. Finally, I raise ten challenges, in a non-exhaustive listing, that I have selected as of high-priority action for Chile at the opening of the 2010s.
