For a really good analysis of this and a debunking of other features of the
"Pinochet miracle", I recommend www.foodfirst.org's "Chile's Free-Market
Miracle: A Second Look" by Joseph Collins and John Lea.

I can't remember if he specifically talks about the Chilean social
security at the moment, but check out _Neo-Conservative Economics in the
Southern Cone of Latin America, 1973-1983_ by Joseph Ramos, John Hopkins

Brazil.

This distinction (reform through established channels vs. yelling in the

other.
Lots of silliness here. All effective reform "legitimate" the system by
making it work better, or at least less destructively, for those on the
bottom. If you oppose reforms on this basis, you will cut yourself off from
all political activity except for PL-ish demand for total revolution
