Abstract

espanolLa economia chilena sufrio una verdadera debacle, un desastre de enormes consecuencias sociales en 1981-1982. El articulo describe sus causas, dinamismo y efectos. Explica que todo ello era previsible para el gobierno militar y sus economistas civiles hacia 1981; que las causas de la crisis fueron introducidas deliberadamente por las autoridades publicas; que se dejo crecer la crisis hasta el nivel que alcanzo con la finalidad de asegurar el sistema economico de feroz neoliberalismo instaurando a partir de 1974; y que la falta en la legislacion de delitos apropiados para castigar las conductas criminales que ocurrieron antes y durante la crisis, no fue ni es todavia en absoluto una casualidad. EnglishThe Chilean economy experienced a real debacle, a disaster with enormous social consequences in 1981-1982. The article describes its causes, dynamism and effects. It explains that all this was foreseeable for the military government and its civilian econ- omists by 1981; that the causes of the crisis were deliberately introduced by the public authorities; that the crisis was allowed to grow to the level that it reached in order to en- sure the economic system of fierce neoliberalism, which began in 1974, and that the lack in the legislation of appropriate crimes to punish the criminal behaviors that occurred before and during the crisis, was not and still is not at all a coincidence.
