Great book on Chile

This book is an excellent analysis of what happened to Chile under Pinochet and beyond. Both authors are experts on the country and their knowledge clearly shows here. By looking at how the reforms and changes made went beyond Pinochet to long term economic factors. The authors both use their knowledge of economics to show how the long term trends affected the country and what changed from a political economy perspective. It is very well written and despite how short it is the information packs a punch. Highly recommend for those who want to understand modern Chile.
