Greatly appreciated. This adds to our knowledge of the Chilean coup, and to the high stakes involved. That Pinochet's Chile was the protoype for neoliberalism is now pretty well recognized. That it was also the model for mass murder of leftists and democrats is somewhat less known. The graffito "Jakarta" was put up on walls all over Santigo before 9/11/1973. See Bevins THE JAKARTA METHOD. I hope Burns can be publically discredited...
Burns's review of Democracy in Chains in the History of Political Economy was highly unfavorable, a sure sign of Koch affiliation. Her recent piece in the NYT plugging her own Friedman biography by connecting it with Claudia Goldin was also misleading about the history of women in the economics profession (she completely ignored the coordinated effort to push women out of economics departments as a means of ensconcing neoclassicism by marginalizing institutionalism and elevating prestige by making the field appear more "rigorous" and scientific).
It's disappointing that an accurate intellectual history of the economics profession relies on outsiders who can be painted as uninformed or congenitally hostile--the fruits of the Koch takeover of the History of Economic Thought--and inherently knowledge-destroying intellectual effort.
And it'd be far more honest to compare "similar puppets": East- and West-european, Asian or African. Something tells me the score is going to be south for "socialists"
I have only one question: based on what sources you conclude, that pro-American regimes in Latin America oppressed more people than the Eastern bloc? It's so debateble question, it's essential to give some links

"the fall of Allende “has been taken as proof that socialism and democracy are incompatible, that only a dictatorship can impose socialism.”"
Interesting ...
