Chile's Middle Class: A Struggle for Survival in the Face of Neoliberalism (Lacc Studies on Latin America and the Caribbean)

By Larissa Lomnitz, Ana Melnick, Jeanne Grant

Over the past ten years, most Latin American countries have experienced dramatic economic changes as a result of their enormous debt burden, with a diminished economic role for the state and a consequent drastic cut in state social expenditures. The authors of this provocative book explore the clearly negative impact of these changes on the middle class in Chile, where the military government was able to take draconian measures in applying the neoliberal model, without fear of political opposition.
