  Economy of Chile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During the early 1990s, Chile's reputation as a role model for economic reform was strengthened when the democratic government of Patricio Aylwin - which took over from the military in 1990 - deepened the economic reform initiated by the military government.
The government's limited role in the economy, Chile's openness to international trade and investment, and the high domestic savings and investment rates that propelled Chile's economy to average growth rates of 8% during the decade before the recession are still in place.
Chile unilaterally is lowering its across-the-board import tariff--for all countries with which it does not have a trade agreement--by a percentage point each year until it reaches 6% in 2003.

 Miracle of Chile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The "Miracle of Chile" is a phrase coined by Milton Friedman to describe the political results of the liberal economic reforms implemented in Chile under General Augusto Pinochet.
The regime also promised that a market economy would eliminate homelessness, but the percentage of Chileans without adequate housing grew from 27% to 40% from 1972 to 1988, and there was an increase in diseases such as typhoid and viral hepatitis that has been attributed to the government's slashes in public health funding.
Chile's most important economic sectors are still in the field of primary production (minerals etc.) that are far less productive than dominant sector of countries that have gone through the complete process of industrialization.

 Chile: Socialism, Dictatorship, and Liberalism - Mises Institute   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Much of this is due to the fact that the opening of the Chilean economy came during the Pinochet regime, a regime that embodies the antithesis of all that is good and decent among Latin American leftists.
They preferred an economy that would "obey orders." Yet, protectionism and the controlled economy had proven to be such an abject failure that something had to be done, so with few other options Pinochet turned to disciples of what was then considered the radically free-market Chicago School of Economics.
As our economy is drained of its freedom and its future by the proponents of debt, protectionism, and incessant intervention abroad, it may soon be clear, that Americans, once so content to make money and do business in peace, have forgotten what liberty and prosperity are all about.

 SICE - ECLAC - Economy of Chile   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The strong performance of the Chilean economy is made possible by its high levels of gross fixed investment and domestic saving (29% and 26% of GDP, respectively, in 1997) and by its level of international reserves, which are equivalent to more than one year’s worth of imports.
This outcome was also partially attributable to the interest rate hike instituted in December 1996 and the effects of the drought that affected the entire central and northern regions of the country.
These rates put the economy at the uppermost limit of the permissible range for achieving the country’s growth and inflation targets for 1998.
