Brazil's Bolsonaro chooses the Chicago Boys for a Trump-sized economic boom

Like President Trump, Brazil's likely new president, Jair Bolsonaro, is openly embracing free-market economics – the hardcore Chicago Boys kind that was last seen transforming Chile into a first-world country.  The real stuff.

I'm going to argue that that's big, really big – not only because Brazil is a leftist sump of longtime culturally embedded socialism and dependency - but because hardcore free-market economics, the kind that turned Chile from a Venezuela-style hell-hole into a true first-world economy in a mere decade or two, has long been a dirty word in Latin America.

Bolsonaro doesn't care.

Excellent choice.  Worked for Pinochet.


That alone will make Leftist heads explode.

If your other choice is to end up like that socialist shithole Venezuela, then the choice was/is very logical.
