Here's what i dont understand: if Pinochet and Chicago Boys were so bad, why is Chile doing so well compared to other LatAm countries and why do other more historically left-leaning countries remain hellholes? Are there books that objectively analyze what happened in Chile?

Most of latin america is messed up and in/out of perpetual issues for a long list of reasons. Chile isn't much of a success story when you compare it's economic growth from the 70s to say east asian countries that did more statist developmentalist approaches kicking off around the same time in SK, China, Taiwan, etc. Maybe it's better to just ask why is south america so underdeveloped. If you want to engage in counterfactuals ask how much poorer/richer would Chile be if there was a coup against Allende which got Chile on good trading terms again but with a more anti-liberal like Park Chung Hee instead of a market liberal like Pinochet.

>Are there books that objectively analyze what happened in Chile?
Probably not. You can find reports by like the Heritage Foundation or CATO or whatever trying to prove Chile is a great success story since it was the neolib model that every right wing think tank was promoting to be copied on stuff like pension reforms and such for decades but that's starting to hit a wall now since prospects aren't looking as sweet as they did decades ago. A book Chomsky cites as anti-Chicago boys work a lot is Chile's Free Market Miracle: A Second Look but that's from the 90s.

What makes you think that? All the Southern Cone countries have a similar GDP per capita.

The Asian countries did a lot to disprove the market liberal advice the West was pushing on developing countries in the 20th century, but they also had better human capital to work with than Latin American countries.
