Friedrich Hayek and his visits to Chile

F. A. Hayek took two trips to Chile, the first in 1977, the second in 1981. The visits were controversial. On the first trip he met with General Augusto Pinochet, who had led a coup that overthrew Salvador Allende in 1973. During his 1981 visit, Hayek gave interviews that were published in the Chilean newspaper El Mercurio and in which he discussed authoritarian regimes and the problem of unlimited democracy. After each trip, he complained that the western press had painted an unfair picture of the economic situation under the Pinochet regime. Drawing on archival material, interviews, and past research, we provide a full account of this controversial episode in Hayek’s life

Raúl Prebisch : el poder, los principios y la ética del desarrollo. Ensayos en homenaje a David Pollock por la celebración de los 100 años del nacimiento de Raúl Prebisch

Es difícil describir o interpretar la historia económica de América Latina sin hacer referencia a la enorme contribución de Raúl Prebisch. Su figura se proyecta a través de la región como la de un gigante en pensamiento y acción. Las huellas de su legado continuan siendo indudablemente relevantes en las actuales discusiones sobre América Latina en relación a los futuros redireccionamientos de su desarrollo económico y gobierno internacional.

Raúl Prebisch: Power, Principle and the Ethics of Development: Essays in Honour of David H. Pollock Marking the Centennial Celebrations of the Birth of Raúl Prebisch

Raúl Prebisch was one of the great figures in Latin America, a dominant regional and international personality since the 1930s, and it is therefore fitting to honor the centenary of his birth in Tucumán, Argentina in 1901 with a special lecture and conference on his life and work. Moreover, it is equally appropriate that this Prebisch Lecture be delivered by David H. Pollock, one of his closest and most distinguished collaborators over many years. Linked by a close friendship and a commitment to Latin America, Professor Pollock both witnessed and documented the Prebisch legacy as banker, thinker, institutional-builder and international diplomat
