Warning: spoilers

The economists behind the implementation of the most extreme capitalist system in the world observe with surprise the discontent of their countrymen. For the first time, they tell how they became Milton Friedman's students in Chicago in the 1950s and what they were willing to do to pursue their extreme economic ideas, aided by Pinochet's dictatorship in the 1970s. Unseen images and testimonies illuminate the historic process that transformed the Chilean people and Chile into the country it is today—an image of success and discontent.
