New Constitution and Chilean Economy: a break with the past?

SUMMARY

The Constituent Convention elections of May 16 spoke loud and clear, giving strong support to independent representatives over political parties, and in turn turning politically to the left. The formation of the new Constitutional Convention creates a number of important questions about the future of the economic model, such as the opportunities and limitations facing the Convention in rewriting or adjusting economic rules, and the potential benefits and difficulties in bringing about such changes.

This event is part of the Academic Forum for the New Constitution in Chile. It will be held in Spanish with simultaneous translation into English.
