To the author, the move to market capitalism effectively blurred the lines between economics and aesthetics, perhaps nowhere more evidently than in Chile. Through exemplary works of film, literature, the visual arts, testimonials, and cultural theory, the author reveals the influence of economics over nearly every aspect of culture and society. Citing Karl Marx, Michel Foucault, Walter Benjamin, Willy Thayer, Milton Friedman, and others, the author forms the theoretical basis for his neoliberal transitional discourse as a logical progression of capitalism. -- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 139-149) and index Notes English Print version record Subject National characteristics, Chilean.
