PIZARRO HOFER, Roberto. Chile: uprising against the subsidiary state. El trimestre econ [online]. 2020, vol.87, n.346, pp.333-365.  Epub Jan 20, 2021. ISSN 2448-718X.  https://doi.org/10.20430/ete.v87i346.1055.

Citizen mobilizations in Chile have opened the opportunity not only to challenge inequalities and abuses, but also to promote a new productive model. In fact, the demands of the social outbreak of October 2019 point to structural changes, starting with the elaboration of a new constitution, which ends the subsidiary state, and guarantees social rights for all Chilean people. In this article, we focus on the foundations that have underpinned the inequalities and abuse of the Chilean society; namely, the economic model, and, in particular, its production and export structure.

Keywords : Chile; neoliberalism; economic policy; oligarchy; Constitution of 1980; corruption; exploitation of natural resources.
