Résumé
'This new edition of the history of Chile brings the story of its political, social and cultural development up to date. It describes how Socialists Ricardo Lagos and Michelle Bachelet modernized the country, liberalizing Chilean political life, and how Bachelet's successor, Sebastian Piñera, addressed the problems caused by the 2010 tsunami. In the last twenty years Chile diversified its economy, replaced a number of Pinochet's organizations with more inclusive institutions, cultivated Chilean culture, modernized its constitution, and fomented reconciliation of the various political factions--until an economic crisis in early 2018 caused political chaos and occasionally violent public protest. Based on new statistics to measure Chile's economic and social development, this volume celebrates Chile's achievements and dissects its failures.'
