Brazil's 'Chicago Oldies' aim to revive Pinochet-era economic playbook
Brazil's new Economy Minister Paulo Guedes worked in Chile 40 years ago after earning his doctorate at the University of Chicago, giving him a front-row seat to dictator Augusto Pinochet's economic shock treatment. By pursuing free market solutions, such as privatising state companies and pulling down trade barriers, the "Chicago Boys" - as they were known - laid the basis for turning a poor country into Latin America's most successful economy by most indicators.
