It would seem to be a common-sensical sort of observation that economic policies are conditioned by and at the same time modify the social and political situation where they are put into practice. Economic policies, therefore, are introduced in order to alter social structures. If I dwell on these considerations, therefore, it is because the necessary connection between economic policy and its sociopolitical setting appears to be absent from many analyses of the current situation in Chile.

To put it briefly, the violation of human rights, the system of institutionalized brutality, the drastic control and suppression of every form of meaningful dissent is discussed and often condemned as a phenomenon only indirectly linked, or indeed entirely unrelated, to the classical unrestrained free market policies that have been enforced by the military junta. This failure to connect has been particularly characteristic of private and public financial institutions, which have publicly praised and supported the economic policies adopted by the Pinochet government, while regretting the bad international image the junta has gained from its incomprehensible persistence in torturing, jailing and persecuting all its critics.

The same line of justification has been followed by American private banks which, in the words of a spokesman for a business consulting firm, have been falling all over one another to make loans. See Ann Crittenden: 'Loans from Abroad Flow to Chile's Rightist Junta', The New York Times, February But probably no one has expressed this attitude better than the US Secretary of the Treasury. After a visit to Chile, during which he discussed human rights violations by the military government, William Simon congratulated Pinochet for bringing economic freedom to the Chilean people The Times, May This particularly convenient concept of a social system in which economic freedom and political terror coexist without touching each other, allows these financial spokesmen to support their concept of freedom while exercising their verbal muscles in defense of human rights.

The usefulness of the distinction has been particularly appreciated by those who have generated the economic policies now being carried out in Chile. It is curious that the man who wrote a book, Capitalism and Freedom, to drive home the argument that only classical economic liberalism can support political democracy can now so easily disentangle economics from politics when the economic theories he advocates coincide with an absolute restriction of every type of democratic freedom.

One would logically expect that if those who curtail private enterprise are held responsible for the effects of their measures in the political sphere, those who impose unrestrained economic freedom would also be held responsible when the imposition of this policy is inevitably accompanied by massive repression, hunger, unemployment and the permanence of a brutal police state.

Deeply involved in the preparation of the coup, the Chicago boys , as they are known in Chile, convinced the generals that they were prepared to supplement the brutality, which the military possessed, with the intellectual assets it lacked.

The US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence has disclosed that CIA collaborators helped plan the economic measures that Chile's junta enacted immediately after seizing power 'A Draconian Cure for Chile's Economic Ills', Business Week, January It is therefore understandable that after seizing power they were, as The Wall Street Journal November 2, put it, champing to be unleashed on the Chilean economy.

Their first approach to the situation was gradual; only after a year of relative confusion did they decide to implement without major modification the theoretical model they had been taught at Chicago. The occasion merited a visit to Chile by Mr. Friedman himself who, along with his associate, Professor Harberger, made a series of well-publicized appearances to promote a shock treatment for the Chilean economy - something that Friedman emphatically described as the only medicine.

There is no other. There is no other long-term solution. The quotation is from El Mercurio of Santiago, March 23, Prices should fluctuate freely in accordance with the laws of competition.

Inflation, the worst enemy of economic progress, is the direct result of monetary expansion and can be eliminated only by a drastic reduction of government spending. Except in present-day Chile, no government in the world gives private enterprise an absolutely free hand. That is so because every economist except Friedman and his followers has known for decades that, in the real life of capitalism, there is no such thing as the perfect competition described by classical liberal economists.

Friedman answered: I have always been against it, I don't approve of them. I believe we should not apply them. I am against economic intervention by the government, in my own country, as well as in Chile or anywhere else Que Pasa, Chilean weekly, April 3, This is not the place to evaluate the general validity of the postulates advanced by Friedman and the Chicago School.

I want to concentrate only on what happens when their model is applied to a country like Chile. Here Friedman's theories are especially objectionable - from an economic as well as a moral point of view - because they propose a total free market policy in a framework of extreme inequality among the economic agents involved: inequality between monopolistic and small and medium entrepreneurs; inequality between the owners of capital and those who own only their capacity to work, etc.

Similar situations would exist if the model were applied to any other underdeveloped, dependent economy. It is preposterous to speak about free competition in Chile. The economy there is highly monopolized. An academic study made during President Frei's regime pointed out that in enterprises controlled each and every one of the subdivisions of Chilean economic activities.

In the industrial sector, enterprises controlled each and every one of the subsectors. On the other hand, studies also conducted during the pre-Allende period demonstrated the extent to which the Chilean economy has been dominated by foreign-based multinationals.

Of the top twenty-two global corporations operating in the country, nineteen either operated free of all competition or shared the market with other oligopolists.

However, the zeal with which the military dictatorship has dismantled state participation in the economy and transferred industries to foreign ownership suggests that levels of concentration and monopolization are now at least as high as they were before the Popular Unity Allende Government.

An International Monetary Fund Report of May points out: The process of returning to the private sector the vast majority of the enterprises which over the previous fifteen years, but especially in , had become part of the public sector continued [during ] At the end of the Public Development Corporation CORFO had a total of enterprises, including eighteen commercial banks Of this total, enterprises Among the other enterprises Competitive bidding is still to be solicited for the remaining enterprises.

Obviously the buyers are always a small number of powerful economic interests who have been adding these enterprises to the monopolistic or oligopolistic structures within which they operate.

There are many other examples to show that, as far as competition goes, Mr. Friedman's prescription does not yield the economic effects implicit in his theoretical model. In the first half of , as part of the process of lifting regulations from the economy, the price of milk was exempted from control.

With what result? Of course, any of the followers of the Chicago School would say that, with the liberalization of the international market, as prescribed by the model, Chilean monopolies and oligopolies would be exposed to competition from abroad. However, that does not happen. Besides, in Chile the economic interests which control the manufacturing industry also control the financial apparatus and import activities. These groups are not disposed to compete with themselves. In short, the application of Friedman's theories to the real world of Chile means that the industrialists can freely compete at whatever price levels they choose.

Other aspects of the brand of economies taught at the University of Chicago are conveniently ignored by the junta's economic advisers. One is the importance of wage contracts freely negotiated between employers and workers; another is the efficiency of the market as an instrument to allocate resources in the economy.

It is sardonic to mention the right of the workers to negotiate in a country where the Central Workers' Federation has been outlawed and where salaries are established by the junta's decree. Their abuses have been so flagrant that even Orlando Saez, former president of the Chilean Industrialists' Association and a staunch supporter of the coup, could not refrain from protesting.

It is not possible , he said, to continue with the financial chaos that dominates in Chile. But the crux of Friedman's prescription, as the junta never ceases to emphasize, is control of inflation. It should, according to the junta, enlist the vigorous efforts of all Chileans.

Professor Harberger declared categorically in April I can see no excuses for not stopping inflation: its origins are well known; government deficits and monetary expansion have to be stopped.

In the same period, unemployment rose six times as much as he had predicted. The remedy he continues to advocate consists of reducing government spending, which will reduce the amount of currency in circulation.

This will result in a contraction of demand, which in turn will bring about a general reduction of prices. Thus inflation would be defeated. Professor Harberger does not say explicitly who would have to lower their standard of living to bear the costs of the cure. Without a doubt, excessive monetary expansion constitutes an important inflationary factor in any economy.

The followers of the Chicago School seem to forget, for example, that the monopolistic structure of the Chilean economy allows the dominant firms to maintain prices in the face of falling demand.

They also forget the role that so-called inflationary expectations play in generating price increases. Looking ahead, firms prepare for rising costs by raising their own prices.

This continuous price leap-frogging feeds a general inflationary spiral. On the other hand, in such an inflationary climate, no one with liquid assets wants to hold them. Powerful interest groups, operating without government control, can thus manipulate the financial apparatus. They create institutions to absorb any available money and use it in various forms of speculation, which thrive on and propel inflation. Three years have passed since this experiment began in Chile and sufficient information is available to conclude that Friedman's Chilean disciples failed - at least in their avowed and measurable objectives - and particularly in their attempts to control inflation.

The Chicago Boys were a group of Chilean economists prominent around the s and s, the majority of whom were educated at the Department of Economics of the University of Chicago under Milton Friedman and Arnold Harbergeror at Kacke Gif affiliate in the economics department at the Chicago Boys Catholic University of Chile. Upon their return to Latin America they adopted positions in numerous South American governments including the military dictatorship of Chile — As economic advisors, many of them reached high positions within those.

The term "Chicago Boys" has been used at least as early as the s [6] to describe Latin American economists who studied or identified with the libertarian economic theories then taught at the University of Chicagoeven though some of them earned degrees at Harvard or MIT see below.

They advocated widespread deregulation, privatization, and other free market policies for closely controlled economies.

The Chicago Boys rose to prominence as leaders of the early reforms initiated in Chile during General Augusto Pinochet 's rule. The training program was the result of the "Chile Project" organized in the s by the U. State Departmentthrough the Point Four programthe first US First Time Anal for international economic development.

About one hundred select students between and received training, first in an apprenticeship program in Chile and then Chicago Boys post-graduate work in Chicago. The project was uneventful until the early s. The Chicago Boys' Marc Dorcel Streaming remained on the fringes of Chilean economic and political thought, even after a group of them prepared a page "Program for Economic Development" called El ladrillo "the brick". Even though the Chile Project ended, the training connection between Chile and the University of Chicago continues.

One of the numerous networking organizations for alumni, including the Chicago Boys, is the "Latin Chicago Boys Business Group at Chicago Booth School of Business" LATAM. The term continues to be used in popular culture, business magazines, press and media. There is now a Chilean film titled Chicago Boys. From Wikipedia, the Chicago Boys encyclopedia.
