Meadowcroft, J., & Ruger, W. (2014). Hayek, Friedman, and Buchanan: On public life, Chile, and the relationship between liberty and Democracy. Review of Political Economy, 26(3), 358-367.«Friedman unsurprisingly told the president to adopt a package of free-market and monetarist reforms. In particular, Friedman argued that Chile's inflation problems were so severe that ‘shock treatment’ was necessary, despite his typical preference for gradualism. Such treatment would include drastically cutting the rate of increase in the money supply, cutting the fiscal deficit by substantially reducing government spending, and publicly committing to abjure printing money to finance future government spending. He also advocated that the government promote a ‘social market economy’ by removing barriers (such as wage and price controls) to the effective working of market forces and freeing international trade. In short, Friedman counseled that ‘No obstacles, no subsidies should be the rule.’ Showing he was not unsympathetic to the hardships this would cause, nor unappreciative of the politics of reform, Friedman also argued that the government should ‘provide for the relief of any cases of real hardship and severe distress among the poorest classes.’»
Palast, Gregory (22. november 1998). «Miracle cure, but the medicine was bright red». the Guardian(engelsk). Besøkt 21. september 2018. «The US State Department concluded: 'Chile is a casebook study in sound economic management.' It was Friedman who himself coined the phrase 'Miracle of Chile'. Friedman's sidekick, economist Art Laffer, preened that Pinochet's Chile was, 'a showcase of what supply-side economics can do'.»
