Can you qualify what you mean by "the long time effects"?


See above my clarification on "worked", but I am quite aware that these effects were "bought" with a lot of blood.


And you are ok with that? You are ok with the fact that to implement Friedman's views it was necessary to exile, torture or murder thousands of people? Do you even know something about the horrors of Pinochetist dictatorship? You seem to believe that "American interventionism" is a perfectly normal foreign policy.


I am not ok with that, but I am not really that surprised by it either. Considering the Arabic spring bloodshed I am not sure that even today radical systemic change can occur in a completely peaceful fashion.


The blood pay was consequence to the resistance to the methods BECAUSE it was not working. If it had worked, then there would have no need for blood spillage.


It never had a chance to work. The US intervened the instant the socialist president was elected and never let up. Even with all that meddling, their plan was working incredibly well.
