The
Chicago Boys (c.
1970s) were a group of
economists, trained at the
University of Chicago, who were later influential in
Chile, under the administration of
Augusto Pinochet. The group was influenced by
Arnold Harshberger[?]'s
Latin American Finance Workshop[?], Milton Friedman's
Money and Banking Workshop[?], and the
Chicago school of economics.
Journalist Greg Palast claims to have infiltrated this group during the early
1970s, while working undercover for
electric and
steel unions.
