The Chicago Boys

Full article: neoliberalism

The so-called Chicago school of economic thought, led by Milton Friedman and Robert Lucas, emerged from the university's economics department. Their neoclassical theory was one of the most important of the second half of the 20th century.

The Chicago Boys are a group of Chilean economists. They studied from 1956 to 1970 mostly at the University of Chicago and were inspired by the ideas of Friedrich August von Hayek and Milton Friedman. They became very influential in economic and socio-political terms in Chile under the rule of Augusto Pinochet. These economists were convinced of the superiority of free markets, which they sought to realize through privatization and deregulation measures. Because of the political conditions in the dictatorship, they were initially able to push through their far-reaching reform ideas without any major compromises. In the 1980s and 1990s, economists educated in Chicago (and increasingly at Ivy League faculties such as Harvard or MIT) were able to gain influence in several other Latin American countries with authoritarian regimes modeled on Chile.
