Abstract
The big changes in both political spectrum and economic conception experienced by the Chilean economy in the 1960s and 1970s have attracted the interest of economists as well as political scientists. From the pure economic point of view, after the Great Depression of the 1930s, and following the strategy of most of the countries in the world, the Chilean economy became less outward oriented through the introduction of several barriers to international trade. This gathered even more strength after Prebich’s ideas about economic development and international trade in the 1950s.
