Another version of that chart … it seems to be from @gapminder
Now I’m wasting my time trying to find out what happened during the second Ibáñez government (1952-58) and why I wasn’t tought this in my history books.

A few more slides about the Chilean export-growth model … life after Copper flattened
Exports
Productivity : large firms and even exporters struggling with productivity growth … while they sway large influence economically and politically
closer developed world comparisons by size, geography, and industry: somewhere between Norway/New Zealand and Australia/Canada

When cheap and “flexible” labor
While small firms have limited access to financing and is expensive. Check Canada, that I always thought similar in this aspect.

About buying roses, taking the early subway, missing Congress, running from journalists, and calling a war
