Chilean Economic Development in the 21st Century - Achievements and Challenges

Pasquale De Marco

Maison d'édition: Publishdrive

Synopsis

Chile's economic transformation over the past few decades has been remarkable, a journey from the depths of dictatorship to the heights of economic prosperity. This book delves into the intricacies of Chile's economic development, shedding light on the policies, challenges, and triumphs that have shaped its current economic landscape.

The book begins by examining the profound impact of the neoliberal reforms implemented during the Pinochet era. These reforms, while controversial, laid the foundation for Chile's subsequent economic growth. However, the transition to democracy in the late 1980s brought about a new set of challenges, as the country grappled with the task of addressing social inequality and consolidating its economic gains.

The book then shifts its focus to the global financial crisis of 2008, which sent shockwaves through economies worldwide. Chile, though not immune to the crisis, demonstrated remarkable resilience, weathering the storm with relatively less damage compared to its regional peers. This resilience can be attributed to the country's sound economic policies, prudent financial regulation, and strong social safety nets.

In recent years, Chile has emerged as a beacon of economic stability and growth in Latin America. Its strong institutions, favorable business environment, and commitment to free trade have attracted significant foreign investment, fueling economic expansion and job creation. However, despite these achievements, Chile still faces a number of challenges, including persistent inequality, environmental degradation, and the need to diversify its economy away from its reliance on copper exports.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of Chile's economic development, analyzing the country's successes and challenges from multiple perspectives. It draws upon the expertise of economists, policymakers, and business leaders to provide a nuanced understanding of the complex forces that have shaped Chile's economic trajectory. Whether you are a student of economics, a business professional, or simply someone interested in Chile's remarkable transformation, this book offers valuable insights and perspectives.

Bryan Hong

Many never find happiness at work. Will you? 
Why are so many people unhappy at work, if they choose the work they do? After teaching as a professor at the New York University Leonard N. Stern School of Business, The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, and Ivey Business School in Canada, Bryan Hong shares his observations based on hundreds of conversations with his students before and after graduation. 
Although many don't realize it, unhappiness at work is a consequence of the way we've designed our society, especially our education system.

In this book, Dr. Hong shares what everyone who wants to be happier at work-and in life-should know. The first step begins with the most important lesson so many of us never learn in school: We must evolve to our true purpose. 
In this book, the author explores:How our society works to shape us in ways that will never lead to happiness at workWhat it truly means to have a strong sense of purpose at work, and why we all need it for a life beyond survival and pleasureHow we can evolve to purpose in a world where so many work without it 
What if there was much more to your life than what you've been told?

Democratic Delusions - How the...

Natalie Fenton

A free media is inextricably linked to a healthy democracy, but in many parts of the world liberal democracies are deemed to be dying or on the demise—a demise that many forms of media have enabled while heralding themselves as democracy's savior. The hollowing out of democracy in these ways has left many people questioning the value of (neo)liberal democratic societies. What can we do about it? 
 
    
  
Democratic Delusions explores the potential of our media and tech systems to be democratic and contribute to a just and transformative democracy. This is only possible, Natalie Fenton argues, by first situating our political systems and mediated worlds within global capitalism. By interrogating different media and their relationship to seven key elements of democracy—power, participation, freedom, equality, public good, trust, and hope—the book asks: What is the response of society when the ability of news media to speak truth to power has been restricted by corporate logic? And, how do we tackle a deep-rooted market logic that shifts public debate towards private interest and marginalizes progressive perspectives? The book explores how these elements can be reimagined through newly conceived media and tech landscapes and, ultimately, what democracy might be in a future mediated world that places more power in the hands of more people.
