| Sumario: | In 1973 political freedom was suspended in Chile giving way to an authoritarian regime which sought to install a new political and socioeconomic order. For this purpose, new legal standards were established as well as a series of economic reforms carried out by a group of neoliberal technocrats known as Chicago Boys. This paper presents the main characteristics of technocratic rationality, as well as its relationship with authoritarianism and neoliberalism. Specifically, it is justified through primary sources why the Chicago Boys are technocrats, as well as what are the particular properties of neoliberal technocracy. The hypothesis is that the neoliberal and traditional technocracy have different characteristics to each other, especially when it is analyzed the role that the expert has when planning society. |
