50 Years Since Allende - An Update on Chile

Jacob welcomes Dr. Robert Funk onto the podcast to discuss how Chile has changed over the last 50 years, and more importantly how it will change over the next 10. They briefly explore the legacy of the coup against Allende before exploring why Chile has always been a little bit different than the rest of Latin America…and whether Chile can avoid being caught between great power competition in the years ahead.--Timestamps:(00:00) - Intro(02:27) - The legacy of the Allende coup(08:33) - Chile's development(12:35) - Chile’s constitutional process(15:50) - Another social explosion?(18:00) - Is Chile a good investment?(22:50) - Why does Chile have strong institutions?(27:00) - Chile’s global position (energy, trade, politics)(31:42) - China's attractiveness to Chile(34:20) - Chile’s regional geopolitics(39:30) – Chile’s future(42:00) - Ideological and political choices(43:50) - Will Chileans ever feel like the coup was justified?--Links:Dr Funk’s article: https://www.americasquarterly.org/article/fifty-years-later-he-haunts-us-still/Christopher Hitchens article: https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v24/n13/christopher-hitchens/11-september-1973CI LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cognitive-investments/CI Website: https://cognitive.investmentsCI Twitter: https://twitter.com/CognitiveInvestJacob LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacob-l-s-a9337416/Jacob Twitter: https://twitter.com/JacobShapSubscribe to the Newsletter: https://investments.us17.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=156086d89c91a42d264546df7&id=4e31ca1340--Cognitive Investments is an investment advisory firm, founded in 2019 that provides clients with a nuanced array of financial planning, investment advisory and wealth management services.
