As Chile has continued to grow and prosper in the twenty-first century, this new edition of the definitive history of the country brings the story of its political, social and cultural development up to date. It describes how Ricardo Lagos and Michelle Bachelet, both highly educated Socialists, modernized the country and integrated new interests into Chilean political life, and how the billionaire, Harvard-trained economist Sebastian Piñera, who succeeded Bachelet, addressed the problems caused by the 2010 tsunami. In the last twenty years Chile diversified its economy, replaced a number of Pinochet's organizations with more inclusive institutions, cultivated Chilean culture, modernized its constitution, and fomented reconciliation of the various political factions – until economic crisis in early 2018 caused political chaos and occasionally violent public protest. Based on new statistics to measure Chile's economic and social development, this volume celebrates Chile's achievements and dissects its failures.> A new edition of the definitive history of Chile, updated to 2018> Covers the regimes of Lagos, Bachelet, and Piñera> Explains reasons for Chile's economic and social development and traces its cultural evolution

Pandemic and social crisis are the two phenomena that provide the context in which this book emerges. The work of the social sciences in this context is more relevant and challenging than ever, because it is clear that in the crisis —from the pandemic in Chile—, economic, social and political-institutional crises converge, which made its analysis and overcoming strategies much more complex, considering the need and urgency of an epochal change.In these convulsive times, from the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Chile, we set out to gather investigations from different disciplines and intersections of knowledge to contribute to the understanding of this particular historical moment and its repercussions in Chilean society in order to thereby contribute to improving the lives of the people affected by this crisis from various spheres and dimensions. Pandemia y crisis social son los dos fenómenos que proporcionan el contexto en el cual emerge el libro que el/a lector/a tiene en sus manos. El quehacer de las ciencias sociales en este contexto, es más relevante y desafiante que nunca, porque es claro que en la crisis —a partir de la pandemia en Chile—, confluyen crisis económicas, sociales y político-institucionales, lo cual torna mucho más complejo el análisis y las estrategias de superación, que consideren la necesidad y urgencia de un cambio epocal.En estos tiempos convulsos, desde la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales de la Universidad de Chile, nos propusimos reunir las investigaciones que desde distintas disciplinas y cruces de saber buscan contribuir a la comprensión de este particular momento histórico y sus repercusiones en la sociedad chilena a fin de contribuir con ello a mejorar desde diversos ámbitos y dimensiones la vida de las personas afectadas por estas crisis.
