Like it or not, Mr. Pinochet had something to do with this success. To the
dismay of every economic minister in Latin America, he introduced the
free-market policies that produced the Chilean economic miracle -- and that not
even Allende's socialist successors have dared reverse. He also accepted a
transition to democracy, stepping down peacefully in 1990 after losing a
referendum.
Prosperity can only be brought about by totalitarian dictators! Long live free markets and torture for all!
Fred Hiatt does not understand cause and effect, and should not be taken seriously by anyone. Not like that will stop the batshit right wing though.
