CHILE, THE RICH COUNTRY WITHOUT Vision .- Sociedad Chilena de Ayer y de Hoy R emember one article was a Professor of Political Economy (Claudio Veliz, The three-legged table, Economic Development. Vol III No. 1-2 1963) of the sixties which referred to the issue of economic development in Chile and the disadvantages and missed opportunities by the Chilean government, since the emancipation into the twentieth century to achieve the desired development. This article is called The three-legged table. E s no doubt that what we meant by development 50 years ago is very distant from what is now displayed as such. I always felt since I started my social studies, Economic Development that lying was a kind of race that never ends and in which the leading countries, as well as paralleling the great sprinters or horse racing, always the same people who lead the tip.
