A comprehensive socioeconomic and political history of Chile from the time of the Spanish conquest to the 1980s, this book focuses on the continuity of themes and issues in Chilean society over almost five centuries. By tracing the development of "Hispanic capitalism" in the era of conquest, and exploring its transformation during the 19th and 20th centuries, Loveman provides a coherent chronological and thematic interpretation of Chile's historical development. With new information on the military government, economic and social change, agrarian reform, and labor, education, and public policies in the 20th century, this revised edition remains the preeminent book on Chile.
