The Pinochet era in Chile (1973-2002) was a period of profound economic and social change. The military dictatorship that ruled Chile during this period implemented a series of neoliberal policies that transformed the country's economy and labor market. These policies had a significant impact on workers, leading to declines in wages, benefits, and working conditions.

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the impact of neoliberal policies on workers in Chile. It examines the ways in which neoliberal policies restructured the Chilean economy and labor market, and the consequences of these changes for workers' wages, benefits, and working conditions. The book also explores the responses of workers to these changes, including their efforts to organize and resist neoliberal policies.
