In reality, Chile is the richest and soundest economy in South America and was the first country in the world to apply free market reform, moneterist policies and structural reform a la the Chicago School/Milton Freedman...all so despised by socialists
It's largely an observation of Economics. Of cousre, 'historically' , Pinochet was an out and out baddy, in the same vain that Regan was a dumb, idiotic cowboy. I'm not sure that things would have worked out so great either in Human Rights terms and certainly economic without the coup but we'll never know and dead lefties always remain heroes a la dead popstars. If the white russians had won I'm sure Stalin would be feted as a messiah in waiting cut off in his prime nowadays...

Aaah, good to have you back quids, banging that irrelevant drum. Amazed you didnt bring class into it, athough it's the strong middle class and cultural industriousness and onus on education that serves Chile so well.


Not having drug production (for the US) and smuggling (to the US) issues, and having been historically relatively free from the cancerous influence of the Monroe doctrine in latin America, it's been better poised to do well.

Argentina should be likewise if it didn't have so many kleptocrats in charge squandering it's immense wealth.


Not everything has to be viewed through the Milton vs Keynes lens you know.

    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
