Overview

With a focus on Chile, Pinochet’s Economic Accomplices: An Unequal Country by

Force uses theoretical arguments and empirical studies to argue that focusing on

the behavior of economic actors of the dictatorship is crucial to achieve basic objectives

in terms of justice, memory, reparation, and non-repetition measures. This

book makes visible a number of cases of economic complicity with the Chilean

dictatorship and explains their links with the radical inequalities the country has

today while proposing a theoretical framework for their study. Scholars of Latin

American studies, history, sociology, economics, business, and human rights will

find this book particularly useful.
