The economic & social human rights violations in Chile under the Pinochet regime caused wide-spread cutbacks in foreign aid to Chile, starting in mid-1976. Chile's already huge debt, combined with the cutbacks, sent the country into even more of a desperate state, with the experience of a depression which resulted in more human rights violations. The presence of multinational banks in Chile subsequently became the prime lending source, & Chile is now able to struggle upwards. However, the saving of Pinochet's junta by multinational consortium investment & loans has only served to maintain the human rights policies of the regime. Detailed historical summary of United States & international relations with Chile is presented, with data on previous foreign aid & recent multinational loan amounts. C. Strong.

This report details about the Chile nation's Political and Economic situation, and the U.S - Chile relations.

"Through the lens of political economy, this book positions housing as a key factor in understanding social inequality. It does so drawing on rich empirical evidence from the case of the Chilean housing market. This book provides insights on the articulation between real estate development, housing provision and social inequality based on applied urban economics analyses that illustrate the contradictions of neoliberal urbanism through the case of Chile. For neoliberal urbanism, the good city is not equal for all, it is based on the principle of profitability and benefits from segregation to make capital investment more efficient. The chapters of this book expose how these processes are generated by a political system that allows them rather than by the invisible hand of the market. The book will be of interest to graduate students in urban studies, urban planning, sociology and urban geography. It will also appeal to decision-makers and also to actors in the real estate market seeking to perfect the social benefits of their professional activities, aspiring to generate more egalitarian and just cities"--

Countries attempting to restructure their soc order to embark upon relatively autonomous patterns of deveopment frequently suffer dislocations caused to some degree by the resistance of established elites, the flight of skilled technicians, econ blockades & sabotage by foreign enemies, & the threat or reality of military intervention. Internal & external opposition to change makes it difficult to assess the degree to which the decline in production during a transitional period can be attributed to the alleged "inefficiency" or "incompetence" of the revolutionary forces or the "inherent dislocations" accompanying change. In the case of Chile, the specific econ problems--shortages, inflation, black marketeering, production bottlenecks--are in large part the result of the planned activities & policies of the internal opposition headed by the Nat'l & Christian Democratic parties & the external enemies led by the US. The econ decline that has set in under the Popular Unity gov of Salvador Allende has resulted from the policies of tolerance negotiation with those who were attempting to thwart Chile's transition to socialism. The gov's most successful efforts at structural change have been in the areas of agrarian reform, mining & banking. Its overpermissiveness has been demonstrated by its failure to control commerce, marketing facilities, prices & production levels; to insure the full utilization of arable land; to halt the flow of investment funds into speculative activity or foreign ventures; to reduce the purchasing power of the bourgeoisie, to curb hoarding; & to circumvent an opposition controlled Congress. The internat'l credit restrictions imposed by the US & covert subsidies to finance internal disruptions complement the resistance of the domestic opposition. Although the Chilean workers currently attribute improvements to the gov & blame hardships on the enemies of socialism, the Popular Unity may lose their support in the Near future to apathy, to the opposition, or to more determined forces on the Left.

We investigate sources of economic fluctuations in Chile during 1998-2007 within the framework of a standard neoclassical growth model with time-varying frictions (wedges). We analyze the relative importance of efficiency, labor, investment, and government/trade wedges for business cycles in Chile. The purpose of this exercise is twofold: (i) focus the policy discussion on the most important wedges in the economy; and (ii) identify which broad class of models would present fruitful avenues for further research. We find that different wedges have played different roles during our studied period
