Description
This Elements in Development Economics volume provides a critical examination of Chilean economic development under neoliberal policies since the 1970s. The authors analyze the structural transformations that have occurred within Chile’s economy while addressing the concurrent rise in inequality and environmental degradation.
The book explores how neoliberal reforms have reshaped Chile’s productive sectors, labor markets, and social institutions. Through empirical analysis and theoretical frameworks, Solimano and Zapata-Román demonstrate the complex relationship between economic growth, social stratification, and ecological sustainability.
A key contribution is the integrated assessment of how pursuit of market efficiency has generated significant disparities in income distribution and contributed to environmental fragility. The work offers insights relevant to understanding development trajectories in Latin America and similar contexts where neoliberal models have been implemented.
