Well yes, Chile's p/c GDP has grown a lot faster than the other neoliberal
Latin American countries'. But compared with non-neo-liberal S. Korea, has
Chile really "developed"? It seems like all the income growth has come from
extracting more fish, trees, berries and copper -- rather than scaling the
technological hierarchy. Off the top of my head, I can name Samsung, Daewoo,
Hyundai, and Kia. How many world-class Chilean companies can you name?
