Patrick Hamilton

Guided tour of the Patrick Hamilton's exhibition El Ladrillo.

El ladrillo is a book of economic policy that set the guidelines of the free-market system implemented in Chile during the military dictatorship. The text was written at the beginning of the 1960s by a group of Chilean economists, alumni of the controverted Economics Nobel Prize Milton Friedman (1912-2006) at the University of Chicago, known as the “Chicago Boys”. In its pages, radical economic measures are proposed, as an antidote that would cure Chilean society from the dream of socialism through measures such as the complete opening of markets, the lowering of customs duty and taxes, the reduction of public expenditure and the promotion of goods and services privatizations.
