Originally aired May 11, 2005, during our news broadcasts
Catrin Einhorn—Producer and Correspondent, Chicago Public Radio News

In the 1950s and 1960s, the U.S. government brought a group of young Chileans to study economics at the University of Chicago. Upon returning to their homeland, history gave them a virtually unprecedented platform to implement what they had learned.

They became known as “los Chicago Boys,” and they revolutionized Chile. Their work is considered a test case, and this documentary explores their legacy through interviews with those who taught them here in Chicago, the everyday Chileans who lived through their free market revolution, and the Chicago Boys themselves.
