What is a miracle? The 1973-1990 Pinochet dictatorship in Chile implemented a series of neoliberal economic reforms referred to as the \u201cChilean miracle.\u201d In this podcast I will examine the policies that were created under the regime; what were they, why were they created, and what were the repercussions. I will work to understand if the \u2018Chilean Miracle\u2019 was truly miraculous in turning around the Chilean economy. Ultimately, I argue that certain economic metrics indicate that the Chilean miracle was considered \u201cgood\u201d for the economy, but in reality these policies deepened preexisting social inequalities and ultimately resulted in a wider gap between the wealthy and the poor, a lower standard of living, and widespread unemployment.<\/p>\n
